title: Prenatal diagnosis of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease: variable outcome within one family.
abstract: Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease is frequently diagnosed in utero by obstetric ultrasonography. We report a case in which there were varying outcomes of this disorder in three affected fetuses in a family. Recognition of variable expression within one family is important when parents are considering termination of a pregnancy with an affected fetus.
