Historical Perspective

Discovery

  • In 1888, Fe´lix Lejars first used the term polycystic kidney[1]
  • He also stressed on the fact these cysts are bilateral
  • In the late 18th century, Dr. Matthew Baillie noted that these cysts were vesicular and not hydatid, and named them false hydatids of kidney[2]
  • In 1994, PKD-1 gene mutation on chromosome 16, was first implicated in the pathogenesis of ADPKD patients[3]
  • Later PKHD1 gene mutation was found in patients with ARPKD
  • [Disease name] was first discovered by [name of scientist], a [nationality + occupation], in [year]/during/following [event].
  • The association between [important risk factor/cause] and [disease name] was made in/during [year/event].
  • In [year], [scientist] was the first to discover the association between [risk factor] and the development of [disease name].
  • In [year], [gene] mutations were first implicated in the pathogenesis of [disease name].
