Abstract

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder. A gene defect located on the short arm of chromosome 16 is responsible for the disease in roughly 86% of affected European families. Using highly polymorphic microsatellite DNA markers, we have assigned a second gene for ADPKD to chromosome 4. In eight families with clear evidence against linkage to chromosome 16 markers, linkage analysis with the markers D4S231 and D4S423, demonstrated a multipoint lod score of 22.42.
