Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 1 Beta Mutation-associated Newborn Onset of Glomerulocystic Kidney Disease: A Case Presentation.

ABSTRACT: Mutations in hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 beta (HNF1B) are the most commonly identified genetic cause of renal malformations. Heterozygous mutations are associated with renal cysts and diabetes syndrome. Various renal developmental abnormalities and maturity-onset diabetes of the young could be the presenting factors of these mutations. A 10-year-old boy who was evaluated for bilateral cystic kidneys and chronic kidney disease from the newborn period was diagnosed with HNF1B-related glomerulocystic disease by DNA sequencing. The differential diagnosis of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease was a diagnostic pitfall. The genetic screening of the family revealed his mother, sister, and brother to have the same mutation. Therefore, genetic diagnosis and counseling are important for cystic kidney diseases not only for formulating the diagnosis and early management plan but also for the diagnosis of potential asymptomatic cases in the family.

Mutations in the hepatocyte nuclear factor-1beta gene are associated with familial hypoplastic glomerulocystic kidney disease.

Project description:Familial glomerulocystic kidney disease (GCKD) is a dominantly inherited condition characterized by glomerular cysts and variable renal size and function; the molecular genetic etiology is unknown. Mutations in the gene encoding hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-1beta have been associated with early-onset diabetes and nondiabetic renal disease-particularly renal cystic disease. We investigated a possible role for the HNF-1beta gene in four unrelated GCKD families and identified mutations in two families: a nonsense mutation in exon 1 (E101X) and a frameshift mutation in exon 2 (P159fsdelT). The family members with HNF-1beta gene mutations had hypoplastic GCKD and early-onset diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance. We conclude that there is genetic heterogeneity in familial GCKD and that the hypoplastic subtype is a part of the clinical spectrum of the renal cysts and diabetes syndrome that is associated with HNF-1beta mutations.

Glomerulocystic kidney disease.

Project description:Glomerulocystic disease is a rare renal cystic disease with a long descriptive history. Findings from recent studies have significantly advanced the pathophysiological understanding of the disease processes leading to this peculiar phenotype. Many genetic syndromes associated with glomerulocystic disease have had their respective proteins localized to primary cilia or centrosomes. Transcriptional control of renal developmental pathways is dysregulated in obstructive diseases that also lead to glomerulocystic disease, emphasizing the importance of transcriptional choreography between renal development and renal cystic disease.

A novel mutation of the HNF1B gene associated with hypoplastic glomerulocystic kidney disease and neonatal renal failure: a case report and mutation update.

Project description:Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 beta (HNF1B) plays an important role in embryonic development, namely in the kidney, pancreas, liver, genital tract, and gut. Heterozygous germline mutations of HNF1B are associated with the renal cysts and diabetes syndrome (RCAD). Affected individuals may present a variety of renal developmental abnormalities and/or maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY). A Portuguese 19-month-old male infant was evaluated due to hypoplastic glomerulocystic kidney disease and renal dysfunction diagnosed in the neonatal period that progressed to stage 5 chronic renal disease during the first year of life. His mother was diagnosed with a solitary hypoplastic microcystic left kidney at age 20, with stage 2 chronic renal disease established at age 35, and presented bicornuate uterus, pancreatic atrophy, and gestational diabetes. DNA sequence analysis of HNF1B revealed a novel germline frameshift insertion (c.110_111insC or c.110dupC) in both the child and the mother. A review of the literature revealed a total of 106 different HNF1B mutations, in 236 mutation-positive families, comprising gross deletions (34%), missense mutations (31%), frameshift deletions or insertions (15%), nonsense mutations (11%), and splice-site mutations (8%). The study of this family with an unusual presentation of hypoplastic glomerulocystic kidney disease with neonatal renal dysfunction identified a previously unreported mutation of the HNF1B gene, thereby expanding the spectrum of known mutations associated with renal developmental disorders.

HANAC Syndrome Col4a1 Mutation Causes Neonate Glomerular Hyperpermeability and Adult Glomerulocystic Kidney Disease.

Project description:Hereditary angiopathy, nephropathy, aneurysms, and muscle cramps (HANAC) syndrome is an autosomal dominant syndrome caused by mutations in COL4A1 that encodes the ?1 chain of collagen IV, a major component of basement membranes. Patients present with cerebral small vessel disease, retinal tortuosity, muscle cramps, and kidney disease consisting of multiple renal cysts, chronic kidney failure, and sometimes hematuria. Mutations producing HANAC syndrome localize within the integrin binding site containing CB3[IV] fragment of the COL4A1 protein. To investigate the pathophysiology of HANAC syndrome, we generated mice harboring the Col4a1 p.Gly498Val mutation identified in a family with the syndrome. Col4a1 G498V mutation resulted in delayed glomerulogenesis and podocyte differentiation without reduction of nephron number, causing albuminuria and hematuria in newborns. The glomerular defects resolved within the first month, but glomerular cysts developed in 3-month-old mutant mice. Abnormal structure of Bowman's capsule was associated with metalloproteinase induction and activation of the glomerular parietal epithelial cells that abnormally expressed CD44,?-SMA, ILK, and DDR1. Inflammatory infiltrates were observed around glomeruli and arterioles. Homozygous Col4a1 G498V mutant mice additionally showed dysmorphic papillae and urinary concentration defects. These results reveal a developmental role for the ?1?1?2 collagen IV molecule in the embryonic glomerular basement membrane, affecting podocyte differentiation. The observed association between molecular alteration of the collagenous network in Bowman's capsule of the mature kidney and activation of parietal epithelial cells, matrix remodeling, and inflammation may account for glomerular cyst development and CKD in patients with COL4A1-related disorders.

A Point Mutation in p190A RhoGAP Affects Ciliogenesis and Leads to Glomerulocystic Kidney Defects.

Project description:Rho family GTPases act as molecular switches regulating actin cytoskeleton dynamics. Attenuation of their signaling capacity is provided by GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs), including p190A, that promote the intrinsic GTPase activity of Rho proteins. In the current study we have performed a small-scale ENU mutagenesis screen and identified a novel loss of function allele of the p190A gene Arhgap35, which introduces a Leu1396 to Gln substitution in the GAP domain. This results in decreased GAP activity for the prototypical Rho-family members, RhoA and Rac1, likely due to disrupted ordering of the Rho binding surface. Consequently, Arhgap35-deficient animals exhibit hypoplastic and glomerulocystic kidneys. Investigation into the cystic phenotype shows that p190A is required for appropriate primary cilium formation in renal nephrons. P190A specifically localizes to the base of the cilia to permit axoneme elongation, which requires a functional GAP domain. Pharmacological manipulations further reveal that inhibition of either Rho kinase (ROCK) or F-actin polymerization is able to rescue the ciliogenesis defects observed upon loss of p190A activity. We propose a model in which p190A acts as a modulator of Rho GTPases in a localized area around the cilia to permit the dynamic actin rearrangement required for cilia elongation. Together, our results establish an unexpected link between Rho GTPase regulation, ciliogenesis and glomerulocystic kidney disease.

Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1B mutation in a Chinese family with renal cysts and diabetes syndrome: A case report.

Project description:BackgroundRenal cysts and diabetes (RCAD) syndrome is an autosomal dominant diabetic renal disease. Precise molecular diagnosis of RCAD syndrome has proven valuable for understanding its mechanism and personalized therapy.Case summaryA RCAD patient and her family were studied to investigate potential responsible genes by the whole exome sequencing (WES). Candidate pathogenic variants were validated by Sanger sequencing. The clinical characteristics of RCAD patient were collected from medical records. Unlike those typical RCAD patients, we observed renal manifestation and prediabetes phenotype, but not reproductive organ phenotype and hypomagnesaemia. A novel 7-bp deletion mutation in exon 4 of the hepatocyte nuclear factor 1B, NM_000458: c.882_888del (p.V294fs), was identified by WES and confirmed by Sanger sequencing.ConclusionThis novel mutation identified in a Chinese family with RCAD syndrome might be the molecular pathogenic basis of this disorder.

Glomerulocystic kidney disease in mice with a targeted inactivation of Wwtr1.

Project description:Wwtr1 is a widely expressed 14-3-3-binding protein that regulates the activity of several transcription factors involved in development and disease. To elucidate the physiological role of Wwtr1, we generated Wwtr1-/- mice by homologous recombination. Surprisingly, although Wwtr1 is known to regulate the activity of Cbfa1, a transcription factor important for bone development, Wwtr1-/- mice show only minor skeletal defects. However, Wwtr1-/- animals present with renal cysts that lead to end-stage renal disease. Cysts predominantly originate from the dilation of Bowman's spaces and atrophy of glomerular tufts, reminiscent of glomerulocystic kidney disease in humans. A smaller fraction of cysts is derived from tubules, in particular the collecting duct (CD). The corticomedullary accumulation of cysts also shows similarities with nephronophthisis. Cells lining the cysts carry fewer and shorter cilia and the expression of several genes associated with glomerulocystic kidney disease (Ofd1 and Tsc1) or encoding proteins involved in cilia structure and/or function (Tg737, Kif3a, and Dctn5) is decreased in Wwtr1-/- kidneys. The loss of cilia integrity and the down-regulation of Dctn5, Kif3a, Pkhd1 and Ofd1 mRNA expression can be recapitulated in a renal CD epithelial cell line, mIMCD3, by reducing Wwtr1 protein levels using siRNA. Thus, Wwtr1 is critical for the integrity of renal cilia and its absence in mice leads to the development of renal cysts, indicating that Wwtr1 may represent a candidate gene for polycystic kidney disease in humans.

Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1β binding in E14.5 kidney

Project description:HNF-1β mutations are one of the most common single-gene mutations that underlie kidney developmental disease. Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1β (HNF-1β) is essential for kidney development, but its functions in kidney development are incompletely understood. We identified 8284 HNF-1β binding sites using ChIP-sequencing. The majority of these peaks map to promoter (26%), intron (34%) or distal intergenic regions (37.4%) of the mouse genome. 61% of peaks map to protein coding genes, 12% map to long-noncoding RNAs, and 2% map to miRNAs.

Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease: case report of a newborn with rare PKHD1 mutation, rapid renal enlargement and early fatal outcome.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD; MIM#263200) is one of the most frequent pediatric renal cystic diseases, with an incidence of 1:20,000. It is caused by mutations of the PKHD1 gene, on chromosome 6p12. The clinical spectrum is highly variable, ranging from late-onset milder forms to severe perinatal manifestations. The management of newborns with severe pulmonary insufficiency is challenging, and causes of early death are sepsis or respiratory failure. In cases of massive renal enlargement, early bilateral nephrectomy and peritoneal dialysis may reduce infant mortality. However, there is no conclusive data on the role of surgery, and decision-making is driven by patient's clinical condition and expertise of the center. PATIENT PRESENTATION:We hereby describe a preterm female newborn with perinatal, rapid and bilateral, abnormal growth of both kidneys, respiratory failure and initial signs of liver disease. She was subsequently confirmed to be affected by a rare and severe homozygous mutation of the PKHD1 gene, inherited from both her consanguineous parents. Our patient died 78?days after birth, due to a fungal sepsis which worsened her respiratory insufficiency. CONCLUSIONS:This patient report shows some of the clinical and ethical issues of neonatal ARPKD, and the need of multidisciplinary approach and good communication with the family. Target next generation sequencing (NGS) techniques may guide and support clinicians, as well as guarantee to these patients the most appropriate clinical management, avoiding unnecessary and/or disproportionate treatments.

Selective dicer suppression in the kidney alters GSK3?/?-catenin pathways promoting a glomerulocystic disease.

Project description:Dicer is a crucial enzyme for the maturation of miRNAs. Mutations in the Dicer gene are highly associated with Pleuro Pulmonary Blastoma-Family Dysplasia Syndrome (PPB-FDS, OMIM 601200), recently proposed to be renamed Dicer syndrome. Aside from the pulmonary phenotype (blastoma), renal nephroma and thyroid goiter are frequently part of Dicer syndrome. To investigate the renal phenotype, conditional knockout (cKO) mice for Dicer in Pax8 expressing cells were generated. Dicer cKO mice progressively develop a glomerulocystic phenotype coupled with urinary concentration impairment, proteinuria and severe renal failure. Higher cellular turnover of the parietal cells of Bowman's capsule precedes the development of the cysts and the primary cilium progressively disappears with cyst-enlargement. Upregulation of GSK3? precedes the development of the glomerulocystic phenotype. Downregulation of ?-catenin in the renal cortex and its cytosolic removal in the cells lining the cysts may be associated with observed accumulation of GSK3?. Alterations of ?-catenin regulating pathways could promote cystic degeneration as in other models. Thus, miRNAs are fundamental in preserving renal morphology and function. Alteration of the GSK3?/?-catenin pathway could be a crucial mechanism linking miRNA dysregulation and the development of a glomerulocystic disease.
