In 1990-1992 110 patients with polycystic kidney disease adult type (ADPKD) were contacted. Forty-nine families were examined by Southern's RFLP method (standard probe 3'HVR and Pvu II restrictase). Of 424 members of these families only 25 (5.9%) refused the examination. So far 337 examinations were completed, 62 are under way. In 32 cases of 109 subjects at risk of 50% ADPKD the affection was proved with a probability higher than 95%, in 77 subjects (and 6 subjects with a 25% risk) were eliminated with an equal probability. In two families successful prenatal examinations of the foetus were accomplished. Evaluation of attitudes to DNA diagnostics revealed in our patients a greater willingness to attend postnatal examinations (up to 98%) and a smaller willingness to have prenatal examinations (21%), as compared with data published abroad.

D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment. RFLP,Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism,RFLPs,Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
