An efficient and comprehensive strategy for genetic diagnostics of polycystic kidney disease

We established and validated sequence capture based NGS testing approach for all genes known for cystic and polycystic kidney disease including PKD1. This setup overcomes the complication of unspecific capture of pseudogenes by applying a mapping algorithm efficiently and specifically aligning reads to the PKD1 locus.

EGAD00001001091	We established and validated a sequence capture based NGS testing approach for PKD1. The presence of six PKD1 pseudogenes and tremendous allelic heterogeneity make molecular genetic testing of PKD1 variants challenging. In the publication accompaying this dataset (An efficient and comprehensive strategy for genetic diagnostics of polycystic kidney disease, Eisenberger et.al., PLoS one), we demonstrate that the applied standard mapping algorithm specifically aligns reads to the PKD1 locus and overcomes the complication of unspecific capture of pseudogenes. This dataset contains the raw PKD1 reads of all patients from the publication.	Illumina HiSeq 1500	55
