Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is caused by mutations in PKD1 and PKD2, encoding polycystin-1 and polycystin-2, respectively. Optimizing the folding environment for polycystin-1 missense mutations may have a critical effect on the progression of ADPKD in animal models and could potentially lead to tangible therapeutic options for subgroups of ADPKD patients.
常染色体显性多囊肾病(ADPKD)是由 PKD1 和 PKD2 基因突变引起的,分别编码多囊蛋白-1 和多囊蛋白-2。优化多囊蛋白-1 错义突变的折叠环境可能对动物模型中 ADPKD 的进展产生关键影响,并可能为 ADPKD 患者的亚组带来切实可行的治疗选择。
