A Study to Determine the Prevalence and Clinical Characteristics Associated With PKD1 Gene Variant Groups in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD)
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is a genetic disease which causes cysts to form in the kidneys. Over time as the cysts grow, the kidneys are not able to function the way they should, and may eventually lead to kidney failure.
