This study will analyze the germline and somatic mutations underlying the development of ADPKD in order to better understand the genetic mechanism responsible for the cystic transformation. Once identified, these mutations could help us understand better the mechanism leading to the development of this disease and may explain at least in part the phenotypic variability.
