Scientists hunt for hidden mutations behind polycystic kidney disease
NCT ID NCT03901521
First seen Jan 23, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study collects kidney tissue from 100 adults with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) who are already scheduled for kidney removal. Researchers will analyze the tissue for additional genetic mutations that may drive cyst formation. The goal is to better understand why the disease affects people so differently and to uncover clues for future treatments.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this research could reveal why some people with ADPKD get worse faster than others, pointing toward new targets for future treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an observational tissue-collection study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly lead to new therapies, and findings may take years to translate into clinical use.
