Introduction: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common inherited disorders in humans and the majority of patients carry a variant in either PKD1 or PKD2. Genetic testing is increasingly required for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment decision, but it is challenging due to segmental duplications of PKD1, genetic and allelic heterogeneity, and the presence of many variants hypomorphic or of uncertain significance. The gene discussed is PKD2; the disease is autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
