Fig. 1: Mutations in the polycystin 1 (PDK1) gene can cause autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). ADPKD is associated with life-threatening vascular abnormalities. A. A PubMed search for “polycystin in the blood” finds several articles, of which 2 have free full text available in PubMed Central. There are direct links to NCBI resources such as OMIM and protein and nucleotide sequences. The Related Articles link represents a precomputed list of articles that are similar to those found through the original search and provides an easy way to expand a PubMed search. B. The abstract view of the PubMed record reveals more links. In this case, the full text of the article is freely available both from the publisher's Web site and from PubMed Central. Clicking on the Books link will display the same abstract, except that some of the terms will be hyperlinked to sections of the book(s) that are significant for that phrase. The LinkOut summary page displays a list of resources that are related to the PubMed article currently being viewed. These will usually include hyperlinks to the publisher of the article, plus other resources, such as MEDLINEplus or NCBI's Genes and disease Web site.
