The gene most commonly associated with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is PKD1, which encodes for polycystin-1. The choice listed as "PDK1" seems to be a typographical error and should likely refer to PKD1, making it the correct answer for the gene mutation responsible for ADPKD.
