Prevalence Estimates of Polycystic Kidney and Liver Disease by Population Sequencing.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Estimating the prevalence of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is challenging because of age-dependent penetrance and incomplete clinical ascertainment. Early studies estimated the lifetime risk of ADPKD to be about one per 1000 in the general population, whereas recent epidemiologic studies report a point prevalence of three to five cases per 10,000 in the general population. METHODS:To measure the frequency of high-confidence mutations presumed to be causative in ADPKD and autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease (ADPLD) and estimate lifetime ADPKD prevalence, we used two large, population sequencing databases, gnomAD (15,496 whole-genome sequences; 123,136 exome sequences) and BRAVO (62,784 whole-genome sequences). We used stringent criteria for defining rare variants in genes involved in ADPKD (PKD1, PKD2), ADPLD (PRKCSH, SEC63, GANAB, ALG8, SEC61B, LRP5), and potential cystic disease modifiers; evaluated variants for quality and annotation; compared variants with data from an ADPKD mutation database; and used bioinformatic tools to predict pathogenicity. RESULTS:Identification of high-confidence pathogenic mutations in whole-genome sequencing provided a lower boundary for lifetime ADPKD prevalence of 9.3 cases per 10,000 sequenced. Estimates from whole-genome and exome data were similar. Truncating mutations in ADPLD genes and genes of potential relevance as cyst modifiers were found in 20.2 cases and 103.9 cases per 10,000 sequenced, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:Population whole-genome sequencing suggests a higher than expected prevalence of ADPKD-associated mutations. Loss-of-function mutations in ADPLD genes are also more common than expected, suggesting the possibility of unrecognized cases and incomplete penetrance. Substantial rare variation exists in genes with potential for phenotype modification in ADPKD.

Project description:ImportanceMost studies of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) genetics have used kidney specialty cohorts, focusing on PKD1 and PKD2. These can lead to biased estimates of population prevalence of ADPKD-associated gene variants and their phenotypic expression.ObjectiveTo determine the prevalence of ADPKD and contributions of PKD1, PKD2, and other genes related to cystic kidney disease in a large, unselected cohort.Design, setting, and participantsThis retrospective observational study used an unselected health system-based cohort in central and northeast Pennsylvania with exome sequencing (enrolled from 2004 to 2020) and electronic health record data (up to October 2021). The genotype-first approach included the entire cohort and the phenotype-first approach focused on patients with ADPKD diagnosis codes, confirmed by chart and imaging review.ExposuresLoss-of-function (LOF) variants in PKD1, PKD2, and other genes associated with cystic kidney disease (ie, ALG8, ALG9, DNAJB11, GANAB, HNF1B, IFT140, SEC61B, PKHD1, PRKCSH, SEC63); likely pathogenic missense variants in PKD1 and PKD2.Main outcomes and measuresGenotype-first analysis: ADPKD diagnosis code (Q61.2, Q61.3, 753.13, 753.12); phenotype-first analysis: presence of a rare variant in PKD1, PKD2, or other genes associated with cystic kidney disease.ResultsOf 174 172 patients (median age, 60 years; 60.6% female; 93% of European ancestry), 303 patients had ADPKD diagnosis codes, including 235 with sufficient chart review data for confirmation. In addition to PKD1 and PKD2, LOF variants in IFT140, GANAB, and HNF1B were associated with ADPKD diagnosis after correction for multiple comparisons. Among patients with LOF variants in PKD1, 66 of 68 (97%) had ADPKD; 43 of 43 patients (100%) with LOF variants in PKD2 had ADPKD. In contrast, only 24 of 77 patients (31.2%) with a PKD1 missense variant previously classified as "likely pathogenic" had ADPKD, suggesting misclassification or variable penetrance. Among patients with ADPKD diagnosis confirmed by chart review, 180 of 235 (76.6%) had a potential genetic cause, with the majority being rare variants in PKD1 (127 patients) or PKD2 (34 patients); 19 of 235 (8.1%) had variants in other genes associated with cystic kidney disease. Of these 235 patients with confirmed ADPKD, 150 (63.8%) had a family history of ADPKD. The yield for a genetic determinant of ADPKD was higher for those with a family history of ADPKD compared with those without family history (91.3% [137/150] vs 50.6% [43/85]; difference, 40.7% [95% CI, 29.2%-52.3%]; P < .001). Previously unreported PKD1, PKD2, and GANAB variants were identified with pedigree data suggesting pathogenicity, and several PKD1 missense variants previously reported as likely pathogenic appeared to be benign.Conclusions and relevanceThis study demonstrates substantial genetic and phenotypic variability in ADPKD among patients within a regional health system in the US.

Project description:Background & aimsPolycystic liver disease (PLD), the most common extrarenal manifestation of autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), has become more prevalent as a result of increased life expectancy, improved renal survival, reduced cardiovascular mortality, and renal replacement therapy. No studies have fully characterized PLD in large cohorts. We investigated whether liver and cyst volumes are associated with volume of the hepatic parenchyma, results from liver laboratory tests, and patient-reported outcomes.MethodsWe performed a cross-sectional analysis of baseline liver volumes, measured by magnetic resonance imaging, and their association with demographics, results from liver laboratory and other tests, and quality of life. The data were collected from a randomized, placebo-controlled trial underway at 7 tertiary-care medical centers to determine whether the combination of an angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitor and angiotensin II-receptor blocker was superior to the inhibitor alone, and whether low blood pressure (<110/75 mm Hg) was superior to standard blood pressure (120-130/70-80 mm Hg), in delaying renal cystic progression in 558 patients with ADPKD, stages 1 and 2 chronic kidney disease, and hypertension (age, 15-49 y).ResultsWe found hepatomegaly to be common among patients with ADPKD. Cysts and parenchyma contributed to hepatomegaly. Cysts were more common and liver and cyst volumes were greater in women, increasing with age. Patients with advanced disease had a relative loss of liver parenchyma. We observed small abnormalities in results from liver laboratory tests, and that splenomegaly and hypersplenism were associated with PLD severity. Higher liver volumes were associated with a lower quality of life.ConclusionsHepatomegaly is common even in early stage ADPKD and is not accounted for by cysts alone. Parenchymal volumes were larger, compared with liver volumes of patients without ADPKD or with those predicted by standardized equations, even among patients without cysts. The severity of PLD was associated with altered biochemical and hematologic features, as well as quality of life. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00283686.

Project description:Background and objectivesThe progression of polycystic liver disease is not well understood. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the associations of polycystic liver progression with other disease progression variables and classify liver progression on the basis of patient's age, height-adjusted liver cystic volume, and height-adjusted liver volume.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsProspective longitudinal magnetic resonance images from 670 patients with early autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease for up to 14 years of follow-up were evaluated to measure height-adjusted liver cystic volume and height-adjusted liver volume. Among them, 245 patients with liver cyst volume >50 ml at baseline were included in the longitudinal analysis. Linear mixed models on log-transformed height-adjusted liver cystic volume and height-adjusted liver volume were fitted to approximate mean annual rate of change for each outcome. The association of sex, body mass index, genotype, baseline height-adjusted total kidney volume, and Mayo imaging class was assessed. We calculated height-adjusted liver cystic volume ranges for each specific age and divided them into five classes on the basis of annual percentage increase in height-adjusted liver cystic volume.ResultsThe mean annual growth rate of height-adjusted liver cystic volume was 12% (95% confidence interval, 11.1% to 13.1%; P<0.001), whereas that for height-adjusted liver volume was 2% (95% confidence interval, 1.9% to 2.6%; P<0.001). Women had higher baseline height-adjusted liver cystic volume than men, but men had higher height-adjusted liver cystic volume growth rate than women by 2% (95% confidence interval, 0.4% to 4.5%; P=0.02). Whereas the height-adjusted liver cystic volume growth rate decreased in women after menopause, no decrease was observed in men at any age. Body mass index, genotype, and baseline height-adjusted total kidney volume were not associated with the growth rate of height-adjusted liver cystic volume or height-adjusted liver volume. According to the height-adjusted liver cystic volume growth rate, patients were classified into five classes (number of women, men in each class): A (24, six); B (44, 13); C (43, 48); D (28, 17); and E (13, nine).ConclusionsCompared with height-adjusted liver volume, the use of height-adjusted liver cystic volume showed greater separations in volumetric progression of polycystic liver disease. Similar to the Mayo imaging classification for the kidney, the progression of polycystic liver disease may be categorized on the basis of patient's age and height-adjusted liver cystic volume.

Project description:Background and objectivesWe have previously published the characteristics of kidney and liver disease in a cohort of 73 individuals with molecularly confirmed autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease-congenital hepatic fibrosis, based upon cross-sectional data. Here, we present prospective data on the same cohort.Design, setting, participants, and measurementsComprehensive biochemical and imaging data on progression of kidney and liver disease in 60 of the 73 patients were prospectively collected at the NIH Clinical Center on multiple visits between 2003 and 2019.Results and conclusionsOf the 73 patients, 23 received a renal allograft at an average age of 17.5 years and 10 underwent liver transplantation at an average age of 20.3 years. Patients who presented perinatally and those who had corticomedullary disease required kidney transplantation significantly earlier. The mean eGFR slope in patients with corticomedullary disease was -1.6 ml/min/1.73 m2/y, in comparison to -0.6 ml/min/1.73 m2/y in those with medullary disease. Kidney size remained the same over time and normalized to the upper limit of normal by 20-25 years of age. The extent of renal disease on ultrasound remained largely unchanged; no patient progressed from the "medullary" to the "corticomedullary" group. There was no correlation between eGFR slope and kidney size. The synthetic function of the liver remained largely intact even in patients with advanced portal hypertension. Based on spleen length/height ratio, two thirds of patients had portal hypertension which remained stable in 39% and worsened in 61%. Patients with portal hypertension had lower platelet counts and relatively higher levels of AST, GGT, direct bilirubin and ammonia. The progression rates of kidney and liver disease were independent of each other. Patients with bi-allelic non-truncating PKHD1 variants had similar progression of kidney and liver disease in comparison to those who were compound heterozygous for a non-truncating and a truncating variant.
