1 / 6 Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Panel
Genetic screening for autosomal-dominant and recessive polycystic kidney disease. Identifies pathogenic variants in PKD1, PKD2 and PKHD1 - useful for confirming a clinical diagnosis, family planning, or pre-symptomatic risk assessment when there's a family history.
Why test for PKD?
Polycystic kidney disease is one of the most common inherited kidney conditions in the UK, affecting roughly 1 in 1,000 people. Most cases are autosomal dominant (ADPKD) caused by variants in PKD1 or PKD2; the rarer autosomal recessive form (ARPKD) is caused by variants in PKHD1.
Genetic testing is useful when:
- You have a family history and want to know your own risk before symptoms develop
- You're planning a pregnancy and want to understand the inheritance pattern for your children
- You have an early or atypical clinical picture (e.g. cysts on imaging) and want to confirm the diagnosis molecularly
- You're being assessed for living kidney donation in a family with PKD
