Polycystic Kidney Disease, as genome-wide studies have reported it: 51 positions from 1 study. Assembled by code from the GWAS Catalog's records and kept current as positions arrive; every figure is the studies' own.
Genome-wide studies have so far placed 51 positions on Polycystic Kidney Disease, from 1 study; the GWAS Catalog files the condition as "Polycystic kidney disease". MyGeneLog's code assembles this page from those records and rebuilds it when a new position is reported — nothing here was written by hand, and nothing here goes beyond what the records say.
A study. The 51 positions on this page from it: rs1045675831 (PKD1), rs1057518783 (PKD1), rs1057518899 (PKD1), rs1057518906 (PKD2), rs1163840810 (PKD2), rs1167476946 (PKD1), rs1177764199 (PKD1), rs1222094213 (PKD1), and 43 more.
The 51 positions sit in or beside 4 genes: PKD1, PKD2, PKHD1, CC2D2A. These are locations, as the catalogue records them; whether any of these genes is how a position acts is a question the records leave open.
It is a record of what genome-wide studies have reported about Polycystic Kidney Disease, kept current by code. It is not a description of the condition, an estimate of how common it is, or guidance of any kind — a page that took those from association records would be inventing them. Each variant page linked here carries that study's own record for the position in fixed sentences, and ClinVar's record where one exists.
Polycystic Kidney Disease is diagnosed by a clinician — not from a genotype. None of the 51 variants on this page is used by any guideline to predict, screen for or diagnose it.
Everything here comes from population-level association records, put together by code. Those records compare groups of people; they do not examine anyone, and they give no guidance on care. For symptoms, testing or treatment, ask a clinician.

In the GWAS Catalog, Polycystic Kidney Disease is filed as "Polycystic kidney disease". Rather than define it, this page lists the genome-wide findings: 51 positions from 1 study, each with its study's sample and citation.
Genome-wide studies have reported 51 associated positions. Each common variant has a small effect, and an association in a population is not a cause in any one person.
The catalogue maps the positions to 4 genes: PKD1, PKD2, PKHD1, CC2D2A. These are where the positions sit, not proof of how they act.
No. Each variant shifts the odds only slightly, and only on average across many people. No guideline predicts Polycystic Kidney Disease from a genotype; a clinician diagnoses it.
