Technology Available for Industry-Academia Collaboration or Technology Licensing. “Taiwan Polycystic Kidney Disease”
Date: 2023.7.10
1.Title:
NHRI technology, “Taiwan Polycystic Kidney Disease” (abbreviated as“The Technology”) available for industry-academia collaboration or technology licensing.
2.Description:
Autosomal Dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited adult kidney disease. Although ADPKD is primarily caused by PKD1 and PKD2, the identification of several novel causative genes in recent years has revealed more complex genetic heterogeneity than previously thought. To study the disease-causing mutations of ADPKD, a total of 920 families were collected and their diagnoses were established via clinical and image studies by Taiwan PKD Consortium investigators. Disease-causing mutations were identified in 634 families (68.9%) by detection of 364 PKD1, 239 PKD2, 18 PKHD1, 7 GANAB, and 6 ALG8 pathogenic variants. 162 families (17.6%) had likely causative but non-diagnostic variants of unknown significance (VUS). A single PKD2 p.Arg803* mutation was found in 17.8% (164/920) of the cohort in Taiwan.
We are soliciting companies for industry- academia collaboration related to ethnic genes in Taiwan cohort.
