Overview
ADPKD has 2 major types ADPKD1 due to PDK1 mutation, and ADPKD2 due to PDK2 mutation. A third subtype can be considered in patients without any documented mutation.
Classification
No official classification scheme for ADPKD has been proposed. In general, 3 types of ADPKD can be recognized based on the gene mutation identified. ADPKD1 (Type 1) seen in almost 85% of patients refers to patients with PDK1 mutations, while ADPKD2 seen in around 10-15% of cases denotes a mutation PDK2. A third type that is still to be identified accounts for patients with clinical ADPKD without any documented mutation of either PKD1 or PKD2.[1]
