The RT-PCR revealed the abnormal splicing of exon 6, which thus caused truncating mutation. These findings suggested that the atypical splice site alteration, IVS6+5G>C, in the PKD2 gene was the potential pathogenic mutation leading to ADPKD in this Chinese family.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The data available in this study provided strong evidence that IVS6+5G>C is the potential pathogenic mutation for ADPKD. In addition, our findings emphasised the significance of functional analysis of UCVs and genotype-phenotype correlation in ADPKD.</p>","PeriodicalId":21752,"journal":{"name":"Singapore medical journal","volume":" ","pages":"229-234"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11132625/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39854524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
