Polycystic Kidney, Type 1 Autosomal Dominant Disease

Brief summary

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common monogenic hereditary kidney disease in humans. ADPKD may affect all the generations of the ADPKD family and the probability of ADPKD is 50% in the second generation for each gender. It has been confirmed that PKD1 and PKD2 are two pathogenic genes of ADPKD. Nowadays, the investigators have established an effective gene detection technology platform for PKD1/2 gene with long fragment PCR and next generation sequencing. First, the investigators performed genetic testing in patients with clinically diagnosed ADPKD and strong fertility desire, but afraid of hereditary risk. Using Preimplantation genetic diagnosis, including multiple annealing and looping-based amplification cycles amplification technique, the investigators successfully screened out healthy embryos by In Vitro Fertilization. Then the investigators transplanted embryos returned to the parent. When the baby is born, using umbilical cord blood gene detection, the investigators confirmed that the neonates do not inherit genetic defects form parents. The investigators have succeeded in one couple. The investigators design a multicenter clinical trial to confirm those procedures efficacy and safety.

Interventions

Using Preimplantation genetic diagnosis, including multiple annealing and looping-based amplification cycles amplification technique, the investigators have had screened out healthy embryos by In Vitro Fertilization. Then the investigators transplanted embryos returned to the parent. Finally, participants will have healthy baby without pathogenic gene inheritance.
