The cloning of the PKD1 and PKD2 genes has led to promising new insight into the mechanisms that are responsible for cyst development in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Although the dominant pattern of inheritance would argue for haploinsufficiency, a gain of function, or a dominant negative mechanism, there is good evidence that autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease behaves like a recessive disease on a cellular level (two-hit mechanism of cystogenesis). For testing of whether other pathomechanisms in addition to the two-hit hypothesis can explain cyst formation, two transgenic rat lines that contain a truncated human polycystin-2 cDNA were generated.
