Renal tubular dysgenesis [4 genes]

Renal tubular dysgenesis (RTD) is a severe disease that causes intrauterine fetal demise or early neonatal death due to the absence or poor differentiation of proximal tubules in the kidney. Consequently, oligohydramnios or anhydramnios are observed during fetal development, decreasing the amount of amniotic fluid and leading to hypotension, poor ossification of cranial sutures, Potter sequence, arthrogryposis, and pulmonary hypoplasia. RTD can be acquired during fetal development due to the ingestion of certain drugs by the mother; it may also have a genetic origin caused by defects in genes of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, following an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. There are only a few cases reported in the scientific literature in which individuals survived thanks to kidney transplantation, peritoneal dialysis, and vasopressin therapy. Most of these cases were compound heterozygous carriers. Genetic testing helps identify the degree of pathogenicity of the mutations, determine disease lethality, and for genetic counseling.

Unknown

  • Genetic counseling
  • Early diagnosis
  • Kidney transplant, dialysis, vasopressin therapy

Identifying genetic variants causing renal dysgenesis allows for a precise molecular diagnosis that provides the information necessary to perform genetic counseling, direct patient management, and offers predictive value to carrier patients.

This panel is indicated when there is suspected renal dysgenesis that may include the following clinical characteristics:

  • Potter sequence
  • Oligohydramnios
  • Renal tubular dysgenesis
  • Pulmonary hypoplasia

Priority Genes : Genes where there is sufficient evidence (clinical and functional) to consider them associated with the disease; they are included in the clinical practice guidelines.
Secondary Genes: Genes related to the disease, but with a lower level of evidence or that constitute sporadic cases.
* Candidate Genes: Not enough evidence in humans, but potentially associated with the disease.
