To understand the putative ciliary ion channel function of polycystin-1 and/or polycystin-2, and to determine the effects of kidney cyst formation on cilia morphology, we crossed our Arl13b-EGFPtg strain (DeCaen et al., 2013) with cPkd1 or cPkd2 mice (provided by S. Somlo Yale Univ). This evidence concerns the gene PKD2 and Kidney Cyst.
