My aunt was diagnosed in the early ’70s and the hospital in Seattle asked my cousins and siblings to get tested. I was eight months pregnant at the time and I couldn’t travel to participate. My aunt and my dad were the only two siblings of five who had the disease, and only two cousins were found to have PKD at the time. Fast forward about 25 years, I was diagnosed with PKD. I have two children who have it and so far one granddaughter.
