Claim:
1. A method of amplifying a PKD1-specific polynucleotide, comprising: (a) contacting a PKD1 polynucleotide in a biological sample obtained from a human with a primer that selectively hybridizes to a nucleotide sequence within a polycystic kidney disease-associated protein-1 (PKD1) gene sequence to produce a PKD1-specific amplification product; and (b) amplifying the PKD1 polynucleotide to obtain a PKD1-specific amplification product, wherein the primer selectively hybridizes to a PKD1 gene sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:1, and wherein the primer is selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 3, 5, 8, 14, 16 and 17.
