Thirteen PKD2 exonic mutations were studied in minigenes and three of them produced alterations in pre-mRNA splicing
Mutation c.1532A > T (p.D511V) caused skipping of exon 6 and incorporation of exon 6 lacking its 3′ end
Synonymous variant c.1716G > A (p.K572K) led to exon 7 skipping
Mutation 2657A > G (p.D886G) resulted in incorporation of an incomplete exon 14 in the mRNA
These results highlight the importance to evaluate the effects of exonic single nucleotide substitutions in ADPKD
