Research paper thumbnail of High Prevalence of Kidney Cysts in Patients With CYP24A1 Deficiency

Kidney International Reports, 2021

Kidney cysts in patients with CYP24A1 deficiency were first reported in a single case study from our center. However, a possible association between CYP24A1 deficiency and kidney cysts has not been described. Methods Retrospective analysis of patients with confirmed or suspected CYP24A1 deficiency and available kidney imaging. Results Among 16 patients with confirmed pathogenic variants, 38% were male and 31% were children, the median age at genetic confirmation was 38 years (range 1–66), and none had a family history of cystic kidney disease. Medullary and/or corticomedullary junction cysts were present in all cases. The median age at first detected cyst was 37 years (range 3–60). The mean and median number of cysts per patient were 5.3 and 2.5 (range 1–37), respectively. Four of 5 further patients with suspected but unconfirmed pathogenic variants had cysts. The number of cysts ≥5 mm in size was above the 97.5th percentile of an age- and sex-matched control population in 55% and 67% of patients with confirmed and suspected pathogenic variants, respectively. At least 1 cyst (≥5 mm in size) was found in 80% of children with confirmed CYP24A1 deficiency. Conclusions These observations strongly suggest an association between CYP24A1 deficiency and kidney cysts. Further studies are needed to evaluate the role of CYP24A1, vitamin D metabolism, and/or hypercalciuria in cyst formation, and whether cysts exacerbate chronic kidney disease or modify nephrocalcinosis and stone risk.

Bariatric surgery procedures include those that cause malabsorption, like the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure, and restrictive operations, such as the sleeve gastrectomy. These procedures produce beneficial effects on health and life expectancy, though whether kidney stones are prevented, as well as promoted, is not established. Although the importance of body weight to metabolic stone activity in patients with cystinuria is not established, the patient’s physicians were concerned about whether any bariatric surgery procedure would affect her ability to drink sufficient quantities of water in order to reduce stone activity. Here we report the experience of a genetically defined patient with cystinuria who underwent a gastric sleeve procedure. In the months after the procedure, she lost 45 kg, though with time she regained 23 kg of that loss. She was able to maintain a urine volume...

We used targeted next generation sequencing (tNGS), including known and candidate monogenic USD genes, to analyze suspected primary hyperoxaluria (PH) or Dent disease (DD) patients genetically unresolved (negative; N) after Sanger analysis of the known genes. Cohorts consisted of 285 PH (PHN) and 59 DD (DDN) families. Methods Variants were assessed using disease-specific and population databases plus variant assessment tools and categorized using the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) guidelines. Prior Sanger analysis identified 47 novel PH or DD gene pathogenic variants. Results Screening by tNGS revealed pathogenic variants in 14 known monogenic USD genes, accounting for 45 families (13.1%), 27 biallelic and 18 monoallelic, including 1 family with a copy number variant (CNV). Recurrent genes included the following: SLC34A3 (n = 13), CLDN16 (n = 8), CYP24A1 (n = 4), SLC34A1 (n = 3), SLC4A1 (n = 3), APRT (n = 2), CLDN19 (n = 2), HNF4A1 (n = 2), and KCNJ1 (n = 2), whereas ATP6V1B1, CASR, and SLC12A1 and missed CNVs in the PH genes AGXT and GRHPR accounted for 1 pedigree each. Of the 48 defined pathogenic variants, 27.1% were truncating and 39.6% were novel. Most patients were diagnosed before 18 years of age (76.1%), and 70.3% of biallelic patients were homozygous, mainly from consanguineous families. Conclusion Overall, in patients suspected of DD or PH, 23.9% and 7.3% of cases, respectively, were caused by pathogenic variants in other genes. This study shows the value of a tNGS screening approach to increase the diagnosis of monogenic USD, which can optimize therapies and facilitate enrollment in clinical trials.

PH3 patients often present with recurrent urinary stone disease in the first decade of life, but prior reports suggested PH3 may have a milder phenotype in adults. This study characterized clinical manifestations of PH3 across the decades of life in comparison with PH1 and PH2. Methods Clinical information was obtained from the Rare Kidney Stone Consortium PH Registry (PH1, n = 384; PH2, n = 51; PH3, n = 62). Results PH3 patients presented with symptoms at a median of 2.7 years old compared with PH1 (4.9 years) and PH2 (5.7 years) (P = 0.14). Nephrocalcinosis was present at diagnosis in 4 (7%) PH3 patients, while 55 (89%) had stones. Median urine oxalate excretion was lowest in PH3 patients compared with PH1 and PH2 (1.1 versus 1.6 and 1.5 mmol/day/1.73 m2, respectively, P < 0.001) while urine calcium was highest in PH3 (112 versus 51 and 98 mg/day/1.73 m2 in PH...

Research paper thumbnail of The first Sri Lankan family with Dent disease-1 due to a pathogenic variant in the CLCN5 gene: a case report

BMC research notes, Jan 30, 2017

Dent disease-1 is a rare X-linked recessive renal tubular disorder caused by pathogenic variants ... more Dent disease-1 is a rare X-linked recessive renal tubular disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the chloride voltage-gated channel 5 (CLCN5) gene. It is characterized by low-molecular-weight proteinuria, hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis, nephrolithiasis and progressive renal failure. This is the first report of a CLCN5 pathogenic variant in a Dent disease-1 family of Sri Lankan origin, and it highlights the value of genetic evaluation in children with refractory proteinuria. A 2-year-old boy with non-nephrotic range proteinuria was referred for evaluation. His maternally related 24-year-old uncle had been investigated for similar features at the age of 14 years and his renal histology had shown few sclerosed glomeruli. He remained asymptomatic apart from proteinuria. Biochemical investigation of the child showed β-2 microglobulinuria and hypercalciuria. After providing pre-test counseling and obtaining written informed consent, the child, his mother and maternal uncle underwent ...

Mutations in OCRL1 cause the X-linked Dent disease type 2 (DD2; OMIM# 300555), characterized by low-molecular weight proteinuria, hypercalciuria, and the variable presence of cataracts, glaucoma and intellectual disability without structural brain anomalies. Disease-causing mutations in INPP5B have not been described in humans. Here, we report the case of an 11-year-old boy with short stature and an above-average IQ; severe proteinuria, hypercalciuria and osteopenia resulting in a vertebral compression fracture; and Chiari I malformation with cervico-thoracic syringohydromyelia requiring suboccipital decompression. Sequencing revealed a novel, de novo DD2-causing 462 bp deletion disrupting exon 3 of OCRL1 and a maternally inherited, extremely rare (ExAC allele frequency 8.4×10(-6)) damaging missense mutation in INPP5B (p.A51V).

However, glomerulosclerosis was recently reported in several patients. Thus, Dent disease renal histopathologic features were characterized and assessed, and their association with kidney function was assessed. Clinical renal pathology reports and slides (where available) were collected from 30 boys and men in eight countries who had undergone clinical renal biopsy between 1995 and 2014. Median (25th, 75th percentiles) age at biopsy was 7.5 (5, 19) years with an eGFR of 69 (44, 94) ml/min per 1.73 m(2) and a 24-hour urine protein of 2000 (1325, 2936) mg. A repeat biopsy for steroid-resistant proteinuria was performed in 13% (four of 30) of the patients. Prominent histologic findings included focal global glomerulosclerosis in 83% (25 of 30; affecting 16%±19% glomeruli), mild segmental foot process effacement in 57% (13 of 23), focal interstitial fi...

We functionally studied the most frequent mutation (S244L) and two mutations recently identified in RKSC patients, Q629X and R345W. We also studied T657S, which has a high minor-allele frequency (0.23%) in the African-American population, was published previously as pathogenic to cause Dent disease. The transport properties of CLC-5 were electrophysiologically characterized. WT and ClC-5 mutant currents were inhibited by pH 5.5, but not affected by an alkaline extracellular solution (pH 8.5). The T657S and R345W mutations showed the same anion selectivity sequence as WT ClC-5 (SCN(-)>NO3(-)≈Cl(-)>Br(-)>I(-)). However, the S244L and Q629X mutations abolished this anion conductance sequence. Cell surface CLC-5 expression was quantified using extracellular HA-tagged CLC-5 and a chemiluminescent immunoassay. Cellular localization of eGFP-tagged CLC-5 pro...
