Project description:A number of inherited disorders result in renal cyst development. The most common form, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), is a disorder most often diagnosed in adults and caused by mutation in PKD1 or PKD2. The PKD1 protein, polycystin-1, is a large receptor-like protein, whereas polycystin-2 is a transient receptor potential channel. The polycystin complex localizes to primary cilia and may act as a mechanosensor essential for maintaining the differentiated state of epithelia lining tubules in the kidney and biliary tract. Elucidation of defective cellular processes has highlighted potential therapies, some of which are now being tested in clinical trials. ARPKD is the neonatal form of PKD and is associated with enlarged kidneys and biliary dysgenesis. The disease phenotype is highly variable, ranging from neonatal death to later presentation with minimal kidney disease. ARPKD is caused by mutation in PKHD1, and two truncating mutations are associated with neonatal lethality. The ARPKD protein, fibrocystin, is localized to cilia/basal body and complexes with polycystin-2. Rare, syndromic forms of PKD also include defects of the eye, central nervous system, digits, and/or neural tube and highlight the role of cilia and pathways such as Wnt and Hh in their pathogenesis.

Project description:Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by the progressive development of kidney cysts, often resulting in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This disorder is genetically heterogeneous with ?7% of families genetically unresolved. We performed whole-exome sequencing (WES) in two multiplex ADPKD-like pedigrees, and we analyzed a further 591 genetically unresolved, phenotypically similar families by targeted next-generation sequencing of 65 candidate genes. WES identified a DNAJB11 missense variant (p.Pro54Arg) in two family members presenting with non-enlarged polycystic kidneys and a frameshifting change (c.166_167insTT) in a second family with small renal and liver cysts. DNAJB11 is a co-factor of BiP, a key chaperone in the endoplasmic reticulum controlling folding, trafficking, and degradation of secreted and membrane proteins. Five additional multigenerational families carrying DNAJB11 mutations were identified by the targeted analysis. The clinical phenotype was consistent in the 23 affected members, with non-enlarged cystic kidneys that often evolved to kidney atrophy; 7 subjects reached ESRD from 59 to 89 years. The lack of kidney enlargement, histologically evident interstitial fibrosis in non-cystic parenchyma, and recurring episodes of gout (one family) suggested partial phenotypic overlap with autosomal-dominant tubulointerstitial diseases (ADTKD). Characterization of DNAJB11-null cells and kidney samples from affected individuals revealed a pathogenesis associated with maturation and trafficking defects involving the ADPKD protein, PC1, and ADTKD proteins, such as UMOD. DNAJB11-associated disease is a phenotypic hybrid of ADPKD and ADTKD, characterized by normal-sized cystic kidneys and progressive interstitial fibrosis resulting in late-onset ESRD.

Project description:BackgroundAutosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a ciliopathy caused by mutations in PKD1 and PKD2 that is characterized by renal tubular epithelial cell proliferation and progressive CKD. Although the molecular mechanisms involved in cystogenesis are not established, concurrent inactivating constitutional and somatic mutations in ADPKD genes in cyst epithelium have been proposed as a cellular recessive mechanism.MethodsWe characterized, by whole-exome sequencing (WES) and long-range PCR techniques, the somatic mutations in PKD1 and PKD2 genes in renal epithelial cells from 83 kidney cysts obtained from nine patients with ADPKD, for whom a constitutional mutation in PKD1 or PKD2 was identified.ResultsComplete sequencing data by long-range PCR and WES was available for 63 and 65 cysts, respectively. Private somatic mutations of PKD1 or PKD2 were identified in all patients and in 90% of the cysts analyzed; 90% of these mutations were truncating, splice site, or in-frame variations predicted to be pathogenic mutations. No trans-heterozygous mutations of PKD1 or PKD2 genes were identified. Copy number changes of PKD1 ranging from 151 bp to 28 kb were observed in 12% of the cysts. WES also identified significant mutations in 53 non-PKD1/2 genes, including other ciliopathy genes and cancer-related genes.ConclusionsThese findings support a cellular recessive mechanism for cyst formation in ADPKD caused primarily by inactivating constitutional and somatic mutations of PKD1 or PKD2 in kidney cyst epithelium. The potential interactions of these genes with other ciliopathy- and cancer-related genes to influence ADPKD severity merits further evaluation.

Project description:Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a genetic disease of the kidney characterized by the gradual replacement of normal kidney parenchyma by fluid-filled cysts and fibrotic tissue. Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is caused by mutations in the PKD1 or PKD2 gene. Here we present an RNASeq experiment designed to investigate the effect of a kidney specific and Tamoxifen inducible knockout of the Pkd1 gene in mice. The Pkd1cko mice were harvested at different time points 2-weeks, 3-weeks, 5-weeks, 10.5-weeks, 11-weeks and 15-weeks after gene inactivation.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited renal disease with an incidence of 1 in 400 to 1000. The disease is genetically heterogeneous, with two genes identified: PKD1 (16p13.3) and PKD2 (4q21). Molecular diagnosis of the disease in at-risk individuals is complicated due to the structural complexity of PKD1 gene and the high diversity of the mutations. This study is the first systematic ADPKD mutation analysis of both PKD1 and PKD2 genes in Chinese patients using denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC). METHODS: Both PKD1 and PKD2 genes were mutation screened in each proband from 65 families using DHPLC followed by DNA sequencing. Novel variations found in the probands were checked in their family members available and 100 unrelated normal controls. Then the pathogenic potential of the variations of unknown significance was examined by evolutionary comparison, effects of amino acid substitutions on protein structure, and effects of splice site alterations using online mutation prediction resources. RESULTS: A total of 92 variations were identified, including 27 reported previously. Definitely pathogenic mutations (ten frameshift, ten nonsense, two splicing defects and one duplication) were identified in 28 families, and probably pathogenic mutations were found in an additional six families, giving a total detection level of 52.3% (34/65). About 69% (20/29) of the mutations are first reported with a recurrent mutation rate of 31%. CONCLUSIONS: Mutation study of PKD1 and PKD2 genes in Chinese Hans with ADPKD may contribute to a better understanding of the genetic diversity between different ethnic groups and enrich the mutation database. Besides, evaluating the pathogenic potential of novel variations should also facilitate the clinical diagnosis and genetic counseling of the disease.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder caused by mutations in at least two different loci. Prior to performing mutation screening, if DNA samples of sufficient number of family members are available, it is worthwhile to assign the gene involved in disease progression by the genetic linkage analysis. METHODS: We collected samples from 36 Slovene ADPKD families and performed linkage analysis in 16 of them. Linkage was assessed by the use of microsatellite polymorphic markers, four in the case of PKD1 (KG8, AC2.5, CW3 and CW2) and five for PKD2 (D4S1534, D4S2929, D4S1542, D4S1563 and D4S423). Partial PKD1 mutation screening was undertaken by analysing exons 23 and 31-46 and PKD2 . RESULTS: Lod scores indicated linkage to PKD1 in six families and to PKD2 in two families. One family was linked to none and in seven families linkage to both genes was possible. Partial PKD1 mutation screening was performed in 33 patients (including 20 patients from the families where linkage analysis could not be performed). We analysed PKD2 in 2 patients where lod scores indicated linkage to PKD2 and in 7 families where linkage to both genes was possible. We detected six mutations and eight polymorphisms in PKD1 and one mutation and three polymorphisms in PKD2. CONCLUSION: In our study group of ADPKD patients we detected seven mutations: three frameshift, one missense, two nonsense and one putative splicing mutation. Three have been described previously and 4 are novel. Three newly described framesfift mutations in PKD1 seem to be associated with more severe clinical course of ADPKD. Previously described nonsense mutation in PKD2 seems to be associated with cysts in liver and milder clinical course.

Project description:Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the common hereditary kidney disease, resulting from mutations in polycystic kidney disease 1 (PKD1) and polycystic kidney disease 2 (PKD2). Clinical data and genetic features of six Chinese families including ADPKD patients were analyzed via Next generation sequencing (NGS), Sanger sequencing, and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification. In family A, the proband (II5) with polycystic kidney (PK), hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, and valvular heart disease exhibited a heterozygous nonsense mutation, c.5086C>T (p.Gln1696Ter), in PKD1 (NM_001009944). In family B, the proband (II3) with PK, polycystic liver (PL), hypertension, hypertrophy of the left ventricle and septum, valvular heart disease, chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5, bilateral renal calculi, and right inguinal hernia exhibited a heterozygous missense mutation, c.6695T>C (p.Phe2232Ser), in PKD1. In family C, the proband (III1) with PK, PL, seminal vesicle cyst, hypertension, CKD stage 3, hypertrophy of the left ventricle and septum, and valvular heart disease harbored a heterozygous nonsense mutation, c.662T>G (p.Leu221Ter), in PKD2 (NM_000297). In family D, the proband (III3) with PK, hypertension, and CKD stage 5 harbored a heterozygous missense mutation, c.8311G>A (p.Glu2771Lys), in PKD1. In family E, the proband (II1) with PK, PL, hypertension, and CKD stage 5 exhibited a heterozygous deletion mutation, exon15-22, in PKD1. In family F, the proband (II2) with PK, PL, CKD stage 3, hypertension, thickened interventricular septum, and valvular heart disease carried a heterozygous missense mutation, c.1649A>G (p.His550Arg), in PKD2. Thus, three novel mutation sites which are responsible for ADPKD were discovered in this study.

Project description:Background and objectivesMutation-based molecular diagnostics of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is complicated by locus and allelic heterogeneity, large multi-exon gene structure and duplication in PKD1, and a high level of unclassified variants. Comprehensive screening of PKD1 and PKD2 by two recent studies have shown that atypical splice mutations account for 3.5% to 5% of ADPKD. We evaluated the role of bioinformatic prediction of atypical splice mutations and determined the pathogenicity of an atypical PKD2 splice variant from a multiplex ADPKD (TOR101) family.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsUsing PubMed, we identified 17 atypical PKD1 and PKD2 splice mutations. We found that bioinformatics analysis was often useful for evaluating the pathogenicity of these mutations, although RT-PCR is needed to provide the definitive proof.ResultsSequencing of both PKD1 and PKD2 in an affected subject of TOR101 failed to identify a definite mutation, but revealed several UCVs, including an atypical PKD2 splice variant. Linkage analysis with microsatellite markers indicated that TOR101 was PKD2-linked and IVS8 + 5G-->A was shown to cosegregate only with affected subjects. RT-PCR of leukocyte mRNA from an affected subject using primers from exons 7 and 9 revealed six splice variants that resulted from activation of different combinations of donor and acceptor cryptic splice sites, all terminating with premature stop codons.ConclusionsThe data provide strong evidence that IVS8 + 5G-->A is a pathogenic mutation for PKD2. This case highlights the importance of functional analysis of UCVs.
