In support of this conclusion, we show that genetic deletion of miR-17∼92 attenuates disease progression in ADPKD mouse models irrespective of the mutated gene (Pkd1 or Pkd2), the type of mutation (null or hypomorphic) or the dynamics of cyst growth (rapidly fatal, aggressive but long-lived or slowly progressing). This evidence concerns the gene PKD1 and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
