Description:
A line of transgenic mice was generated that contains an insertional mutation causing a phenotype similar to human autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease. Homozygotes displayed a complex phenotype that included bilateral polycystic kidneys and an unusual liver lesion. The mutant locus was cloned and characterized through use of the transgene as a molecular marker. Additionally, a candidate polycystic kidney disease (PKD) gene was identified whose structure and expression are directly associated with the mutant locus. A complementary DNA derived from this gene predicted a peptide containing a motif that was originally identified in several genes involved in cell cycle control.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Moyer, J H -- Lee-Tischler, M J -- Kwon, H Y -- Schrick, J J -- Avner, E D -- Sweeney, W E -- Godfrey, V L -- Cacheiro, N L -- Wilkinson, J E -- Woychik, R P -- IAG 222Y01-ES-10067/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/ -- R01 DK45633-01/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 HD25323/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 May 27;264(5163):1329-33.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉University of Tennessee Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Biology Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, TN 37831-8077.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8191288" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
