Description of a New Simple and Cost-Effective Molecular Testing That Could Simplify MUC1 Variant Detection. Kidney Int Rep 2024; 9:1451-1457. [PMID: 38707821 PMCID: PMC11068942 DOI: 10.1016/j.ekir.2024.01.058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Patients with autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease (ADTKD) usually present with nonspecific progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD) with mild to negative proteinuria and a family history. ADTKD-MUC1 leads to the formation of a frameshift protein that accumulates in the cytoplasm, leading to tubulointerstitial damage. ADTKD-MUC1 prevalence remains unclear because MUC1 variants are not routinely detected by standard next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques. Methods We developed a bioinformatic counting script that can detect specific genetic sequences and count the number of occurrences. We used DNA samples from 27 patients for validation, 11 of them were patients from the Lille University Hospital in France and 16 were from the Wake Forest Hospital, NC. All patients from Lille were tested with an NGS gene panel with our script and all patients from Wake Forest Hospital were tested with the snapshot reference technique. Between January 2018 and February 2023, we collected data on all patients diagnosed with MUC1 variants with this script. Results A total of 27 samples were tested anonymously by the BROAD Institute reference technique for confirmation and we were able to get a 100% concordance for MUC1 diagnosis. Clinico-biologic characteristics in our cohort were similar to those previously described in ADTKD-MUC1. Conclusion We describe a new simple and cost-effective method for molecular testing of ADTKD-MUC1. Genetic analyses in our cohort suggest that MUC1 might be the first cause of ADTKD. Increasing the availability of MUC1 diagnosis tools will contribute to a better understanding of the disease and to the development of specific treatments.

Am J Kidney Dis 2024:S0272-6386(24)00681-4. [PMID: 38514012 DOI: 10.1053/j.ajkd.2024.02.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024]
Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE Alport syndrome (AS) is the most common genetic glomerular disease caused by mutations that affect type IV collagen. However, the clinical characteristics and significance of AS with kidney cysts are not well defined. This study investigated the prevalence and clinical significance of cystic kidney phenotype in AS. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS One hundred-eight patients with AS and a comparison cohort of 79 patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Clinical, genetic, and imaging data were collected from medical records. EXPOSURE Cystic kidney phenotype evaluated by ultrasonography and defined as the presence of≥3 cysts in each kidney; demographic characteristics and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at disease onset. OUTCOME Cystic kidney phenotype in the AS and IgAN cohorts; time to chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3b and longitudinal changes in eGFR in the AS cohort. ANALYTICAL APPROACH Logistic regression analysis to test independent strengths of associations of clinical/demographic features with the binary outcome of cystic phenotype. Survival analysis for the outcome of reaching CKD stage 3b and linear mixed models for changes in eGFR over time in the AS cohort. RESULTS We studied 108 patients with AS; 76 (70%) had a genetic diagnosis. Autosomal dominant AS was prevalent, accounting for 68% of patients with a genetic diagnosis. Cystic kidney phenotype was observed in 38% of patients with AS and was associated with normal-sized kidneys in all but 3 patients, who showed increased total kidney volume, mimicking autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. The prevalence of cystic kidney phenotype was significantly higher in patients with AS when compared with the group of patients with IgAN (42% vs 19%; P=0.002). Patients with the cystic kidney phenotype were older and had more marked reduction in eGFR than patients without cystic changes. Among patients with AS, the cystic phenotype was associated with older age and a faster decline eGFR. LIMITATIONS Retrospective, single-center study. CONCLUSIONS Cystic kidney phenotype is a common finding in AS. The cystic kidney phenotype is a common finding in AS, suggesting a possible role in cystogenesis for the genetic variants that cause this disease. PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY Hematuria is the classic renal presentation of Alport syndrome (AS), a hereditary glomerulopathy caused by pathogenic variants of the COL4A3-5 genes. An atypical kidney cystic phenotype has been rarely reported in individuals with these variants. To determine the prevalence of kidney cysts, we performed abdominal ultrasonography in a large group of patients with AS and a comparison group of patients with another glomerular kidney disease, IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Multiple kidney cysts, usually with normal kidney volume, were found in 38% of patients with AS. A few patients' kidney volumes were large enough to mimic a different hereditary cystic kidney disease, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. The overall prevalence of kidney cysts in AS was more than double that observed in the well-matched comparison group with IgAN. These findings emphasize the high prevalence of cystic kidney phenotype in AS, suggesting a likely association between the genetic variants that cause this disease and the development of kidney cysts.

KidneyGPS: a user-friendly web application to help prioritize kidney function genes and variants based on evidence from genome-wide association studies. BMC Bioinformatics 2023; 24:355. [PMID: 37735349 PMCID: PMC10512588 DOI: 10.1186/s12859-023-05472-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of genetic loci associated with kidney function. By combining these findings with post-GWAS information (e.g., statistical fine-mapping to identify independent association signals and to narrow down signals to causal variants; or different sources of annotation data), new hypotheses regarding physiology and disease aetiology can be obtained. These hypotheses need to be tested in laboratory experiments, for example, to identify new therapeutic targets. For this purpose, the evidence obtained from GWAS and post-GWAS analyses must be processed and presented in a way that they are easily accessible to kidney researchers without specific GWAS expertise. MAIN: Here we present KidneyGPS, a user-friendly web-application that combines genetic variant association for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from the Chronic Kidney Disease Genetics consortium with annotation of (i) genetic variants with functional or regulatory effects ("SNP-to-gene" mapping), (ii) genes with kidney phenotypes in mice or human ("gene-to-phenotype"), and (iii) drugability of genes (to support re-purposing). KidneyGPS adopts a comprehensive approach summarizing evidence for all 5906 genes in the 424 GWAS loci for eGFR identified previously and the 35,885 variants in the 99% credible sets of 594 independent signals. KidneyGPS enables user-friendly access to the abundance of information by search functions for genes, variants, and regions. KidneyGPS also provides a function ("GPS tab") to generate lists of genes with specific characteristics thus enabling customizable Gene Prioritisation (GPS). These specific characteristics can be as broad as any gene in the 424 loci with a known kidney phenotype in mice or human; or they can be highly focussed on genes mapping to genetic variants or signals with particularly with high statistical support. KidneyGPS is implemented with RShiny in a modularized fashion to facilitate update of input data ( https://kidneygps.ur.de/gps/ ). CONCLUSION With the focus on kidney function related evidence, KidneyGPS fills a gap between large general platforms for accessing GWAS and post-GWAS results and the specific needs of the kidney research community. This makes KidneyGPS an important platform for kidney researchers to help translate in silico research results into in vitro or in vivo research.

Brown-Norway chromosome 1 mitigates the upregulation of proinflammatory pathways in mTAL cells and subsequent age-related CKD in Dahl SS/JrHsdMcwi rats. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 2023; 324:F193-F210. [PMID: 36475869 PMCID: PMC9886360 DOI: 10.1152/ajprenal.00145.2022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2022] [Revised: 11/23/2022] [Accepted: 11/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has a strong genetic component; however, the underlying pathways are not well understood. Dahl salt-sensitive (SS)/Jr rats spontaneously develop CKD with age and are used to investigate the genetic determinants of CKD. However, there are currently several genetically diverse Dahl SS rats maintained at various institutions and the extent to which some exhibit age-related CKD is unclear. We assessed glomerulosclerosis (GS) and tubulointerstitial fibrosis (TIF) in 3- and 6-mo-old male and female SS/JrHsdMcwi, BN/NHsd/Mcwi [Brown-Norway (BN)], and consomic SS-Chr 1BN/Mcwi (SS.BN1) rats, in which chromosome 1 from the BN rat was introgressed into the genome of the SS/JrHsdMcwi rat. Rats were fed a 0.4% NaCl diet. GS (31 ± 3% vs. 7 ± 1%) and TIF (2.3 ± 0.2 vs. 0.5 ± 0.1) were significantly greater in 6-mo-old compared with 3-mo-old SS/JrHsdMcwi rats, and CKD was exacerbated in males. GS was minimal in 6- and 3-mo-old BN (3.9 ± 0.6% vs. 1.2 ± 0.4%) and SS.BN1 (2.4 ± 0.5% vs. 1.0 ± 0.3%) rats, and neither exhibited TIF. In SS/JrHsdMcwi and SS.BN1 rats, mean arterial blood pressure was significantly greater in 6-mo-old compared with 3-mo-old SS/JrHsdMcwi (162 ± 4 vs. 131 ± 2 mmHg) but not SS.BN1 (115 ± 2 vs. 116 ± 1 mmHg) rats. In 6-mo-old SS/JrHsdMcwi rats, blood pressure was significantly greater in females. RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that inflammatory pathways were upregulated in isolated medullary thick ascending tubules in 7-wk-old SS/JrHsdMcwi rats, before the development of tubule pathology, compared with SS.BN1 rats. In summary, SS/JrHsdMcwi rats exhibit robust age-related progression of medullary thick ascending limb abnormalities, CKD, and hypertension, and gene(s) on chromosome 1 have a major pathogenic role in such changes.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study shows that the robust age-related progression of kidney disease in Dahl SS/JrHsdMcw rats maintained on a normal-salt diet is abolished in consomic SS.BN1 rats. Evidence that medullary thick ascending limb segments of SS/JrHsdMcw rats are structurally abnormal and enriched in proinflammatory pathways before the development of protein casts provides new insights into the pathogenesis of kidney disease in this model.

Prevalence of hereditary tubulointerstitial kidney diseases in the German Chronic Kidney Disease study. Eur J Hum Genet 2022; 30:1413-1422. [PMID: 36100708 PMCID: PMC9712573 DOI: 10.1038/s41431-022-01177-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2022] [Revised: 07/14/2022] [Accepted: 08/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Hereditary chronic kidney disease (CKD) appears to be more frequent than the clinical perception. Exome sequencing (ES) studies in CKD cohorts could identify pathogenic variants in ~10% of individuals. Tubulointerstitial kidney diseases, showing no typical clinical/histologic finding but tubulointerstitial fibrosis, are particularly difficult to diagnose. We used a targeted panel (29 genes) and MUC1-SNaPshot to sequence 271 DNAs, selected in defined disease entities and age cutoffs from 5217 individuals in the German Chronic Kidney Disease cohort. We identified 33 pathogenic variants. Of these 27 (81.8%) were in COL4A3/4/5, the largest group being 15 COL4A5 variants with nine unrelated individuals carrying c.1871G>A, p.(Gly624Asp). We found three cysteine variants in UMOD, a novel missense and a novel splice variant in HNF1B and the homoplastic MTTF variant m.616T>C. Copy-number analysis identified a heterozygous COL4A5 deletion, and a HNF1B duplication/deletion, respectively. Overall, pathogenic variants were present in 12.5% (34/271) and variants of unknown significance in 9.6% (26/271) of selected individuals. Bioinformatic predictions paired with gold standard diagnostics for MUC1 (SNaPshot) could not identify the typical cytosine duplication ("c.428dupC") in any individual, implying that ADTKD-MUC1 is rare. Our study shows that >10% of selected individuals carry disease-causing variants in genes partly associated with tubulointerstitial kidney diseases. COL4A3/4/5 genes constitute the largest fraction, implying they are regularly overlooked using clinical Alport syndrome criteria and displaying the existence of phenocopies. We identified variants easily missed by some ES pipelines. The clinical filtering criteria applied enriched for an underlying genetic disorder.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review will summarize and synthesize recent findings in regard to monogenic kidney disorders, including how that evidence is being translated into practice. It will add to existing key knowledge to provide context for clinicians in consolidating existing practice and approaches. RECENT FINDINGS Whilst there are long established factors, which indicate increased likelihood of identifying a monogenic cause for kidney disease, these can now be framed in terms of the identification of new genes, new indications for genomic testing and new evidence for clinical utility of genomic testing in nephrology. Further, inherent in the use of genomics in nephrology are key concepts including robust informed consent, variant interpretation and return of results. Recent findings of variants in genes related to complex or broader kidney phenotypes are emerging in addition to understanding of de novo variants. Phenocopy phenomena are indicating a more pragmatic use of broader gene panels whilst evidence is emerging of a role in unexplained kidney disease. Clinical utility is evolving but is being successfully demonstrated across multiple domains of outcome and practice. SUMMARY We provide an updated framework of evidence to guide application of genomic testing in chronic kidney disease (CKD), building upon existing principles and knowledge to indicate how the practice and implementation of this can be applied today. There are clearly established roles for genomic testing for some patients with CKD, largely those with suspected heritable forms, with these continuing to expand as new evidence emerges.

Abstract
The clinical characteristics of autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease (ADTKD) include bland urinary sediment, slowly progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD) with many patients reaching end stage renal disease (ESRD) between age 20 and 70 years, and autosomal dominant inheritance. Due to advances in genetic diagnosis, ADTKD is becoming increasingly recognized as a cause of CKD. Pathogenic variants in UMOD, MUC1, and REN are the most common causes of ADTKD. ADTKD-UMOD is also associated with hyperuricemia and gout. ADTKD-REN often presents in childhood with mild hypotension, CKD, hyperkalemia, acidosis, and anemia. ADTKD-MUC1 patients present only with CKD. This review describes the pathophysiology, genetics, clinical manifestation, and diagnosis for ADTKD, with an emphasis on genetic testing and genetic counseling suggestions for patients.
