| Popis: | Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common inherited condition characterized by the growth of multiple bilateral cysts in the kidneys. We describe the case of a 35-year-old male with combined ADPKD and type 1 diabetes mellitus with a strong family history of both. At the age of 32, he developed end-stage kidney disease for which he underwent preemptive simultaneous pancreatic and kidney transplant, which in turn led to multiple perioperative complications. Evaluation of familial clustering of genetic disease is critical in genetic epidemiology and precision medicine as it enables estimation of lifetime disease risk and early assessment as well as detection of the disease among one’s siblings. |
