Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

ADPKD is the most common form of hereditary kidney disease and is known to occur in 1 of 400 to 1000 population in the U.S. ADPKD consists of 2.8% of patients receiving kidney transplantation in the investigator's center. It is known that ADPKD is associated with vascular anomalies, including abdominal aneurysms, valvular anomalies and especially intracranial aneurysms. Intracranial aneurysms occur in 9\~12% of the ADPKD population which is higher than 2\~3% in the general population and is known to be associated with PKD1 or PKD2 heritage.

Until now, most of the studies regarding intracranial aneurysms in ADPKD are conducted in animal models, and there are only few cellular studies conducted from human samples. Total 154 patients received kidney transplantation for ADPKD from 1994 to December 2018 at Asan Medical Center, Seoul, Korea. While performing kidney transplantation to ESRD ADPKD patients, nephrectomy has been routinely performed for polycystic kidney and the nephrectomy specimens can be obtained. The objective of this study is to investigate the mechanism of intracranial aneurysm in ADPKD patients by analyzing gene characteristics from nephrectomy specimens.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

ADPKD is associated with PKD1 gene on chromosome 16 and PKD2 gene on chromosome 4 and these gene respectively code polycystin 1 and polycystin 2. Currently the hypotheses for increased intracranial aneurysm rate in ADPKD patients is that mutation of polycystin is not only confined to nephron tissues but also in endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells and results in mutation of vascular phenotype. Also recent studies show polycystin complex causes cystic changes through mutation in primary cilia in renal epithelium. Wild type endothelial cells respond to fluid shear stress by regulating levels of intracellular calcium and nitric oxide, however, PKD1 or PKD2 mutation in fetal aortic endothelial cells revealed loss of these responses.

During kidney transplantation, bilateral nephrectomies are routinely performed to ADPKD patients. In this study, the investigators plan to perform PKD gene tests and gene sequencing from polycystic kidney nephrectomy specimens of154 ADPKD patients who received kidney transplantation at Asan Medical Center between 1994 and 2018. The aim of this study to analyze the gene mutation of ADPKD patients and investigate mechanisms associated with intracranial aneurysm occurence in ADPKD patients.
