Welcome to the ADPKD Variant Database
Database Description
The Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) Database (PKDB) has been established to facilitate the characterization of ADPKD variants in PKD1 and PKD2, the two genes known to have mutations causative of ADPKD. It has been set up to be a repository for all variants in these genes, whether likely disease causing or not.
Please provide feedback to the Administrator on further ways to improve the database.
Data Submission
Data submission will be accepted by E-Mail (Administrator) using the data submission guidelines. Before any submitted data is integrated into the database, it will be examined and edited where necessary by curators of the PKDB in order to ensure the quality of the input data is maintained.

The ADPKD Variant Database has been migrated to a new server using industry standard technologies.
With this migration we have added many new filtering and searching features as well as a more responsive and intuitive user interface.
Soon to follow are the addition of new variants and the incorporation of other scoring features. |
DISCLAIMER
Appropriate Data Usage
Information in the database should be used for research purposes only . While every effort has been made to depict accurately the nature of the gene variants, users of the database should treat the reported variants with extreme caution. Some changes are neutral polymorphisms and the pathogenicity of many of the gene variants, including most of the missense variants, is unproven. A scoring algorithm is used to determine the potential pathogenicity of the stored mutations. The data within the database are not intended to be used for the provision of any clinical recommendations.
Respecting The Efforts Of Contributing Authors and the Curators of the Database
Any data within the database that has not been published in a periodic journal must be treated as privileged information. Such data should not be disseminated to others without the permission of the contributing author. Please contact the curators of the database about such data. The classification of the significance of variants has been determined employing specific algorithms developed for this data that have not been published in detail. It is not permissible to publish summaries of the data in the database without the permission of the database curators. Please contact the curators of the database for such inquiries. Any publications that employ PKDB to provide information about specific variants should cite the PKDB URL:http://pkdb.pkdcure.org
