Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a very common hereditary renal disorder. Mutations in PKD1 and PKD2 , identified as disease-causing genes, account for 85% and 15% of the ADPKD cases, respectively. ⋯ The data available in this study provided strong evidence that IVS6+5G>C is the potential pathogenic mutation for ADPKD. In addition, our findings emphasised the significance of functional analysis of UCVs and genotype-phenotype correlation in ADPKD.
