Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common genetic condition that can lead to kidney failure and that has no cure. Recent research published in JASN uncovers an over-looked mechanism that likely contributes to this condition. The findings provide a better understanding of ADPKD and may lead to new strategies to treat it.
