* Using the OMIM numbers, detailed clinical information can be obtained at http://www3.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Omim/ ** The R306X mutation in PKD2 has been identified in Romani families from Bulgaria. It has not been confirmed in the Hungarian ADPKD families, but appears probable because of a reported common migration history of all affected groups.
