G-quadruplex stabilization provokes DNA breaks in human PKD1, revealing a second hit mechanism for ADPKD by Agata M. Parsons, Seth Byrne, Jesse Kooistra, John Dewey, Aaron L. Zebolsky, Gloria Alvarado, Gerrit J. Bouma, Gregory B. Vanden Heuvel, Erik D. Larson

“…Inactivation of PKD1 results in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, a very common disorder characterized by the accumulation of fluid-filled cysts and end-stage renal disease. Since human PKD1 follows second hit and mouse Pkd1 heterozygotes do not, we reasoned that there is likely a molecular difference that explains the elevated mutagenesis of the human gene. …”
