Abstract
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a spectrum of clinically heterogenous forms of monogenic diabetes mellitus characterized by autosomal dominant inheritance, onset at a young age, and absence of pancreatic islets autoimmunity. This rare form of hyperglycemia, with clinical features overlapping with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, has 14 subtypes with differences in prevalence and complications occurrence which tailor therapeutic approach. MODY phenotypes differ based on the gene involved, gene penetrance and expressivity. While MODY 2 rarely leads to diabetic complications and is easily managed with lifestyle interventions alone, more severe subtypes, such as MODY 1, 3, and 6, require an individualized treatment approach to maintain a patient's quality of life and prevention of complications. This review summarizes current evidence on the presentation, diagnosis, and management of MODY, an example of a genetic cause of hyperglycemia that calls for a precision medicine approach.

Abstract
The hepatocyte nuclear factor 1β (HNF1B) gene is involved in the development of specialized epithelia of several organs during the early and late phases of embryogenesis, performing its function mainly by regulating the cell cycle and apoptosis pathways. The first pathogenic variant of HNF1B (namely, R177X) was reported in 1997 and is associated with the maturity-onset diabetes of the young. Since then, more than 230 different HNF1B variants have been reported, revealing a multifaceted syndrome with complex and heterogenous genetic, pathologic, and clinical profiles, mainly affecting the pediatric population. The pancreas and kidneys are the most frequently affected organs, resulting in diabetes, renal cysts, and a decrease in renal function, leading, in 2001, to the definition of HNF1B deficiency syndrome, including renal cysts and diabetes. However, several other organs and systems have since emerged as being affected by HNF1B defect, while diabetes and renal cysts are not always present. Especially, liver involvement has generally been overlooked but recently emerged as particularly relevant (mostly showing chronically elevated liver enzymes) and with a putative relation with tumor development, thus requiring a more granular analysis. Nowadays, HNF1B-associated disease has been recognized as a clinical entity with a broader and more variable multisystem phenotype, but the reasons for the phenotypic heterogeneity are still poorly understood. In this review, we aimed to describe the multifaceted nature of HNF1B deficiency in the pediatric and adult populations: we analyzed the genetic, phenotypic, and clinical features of this complex and misdiagnosed syndrome, covering the most frequent, unusual, and recently identified traits.

Abstract
Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1β (HNF1β) is a transcription factor essential for the development and function of the kidney. Mutations in and deletions of HNF1β cause autosomal dominant tubule interstitial kidney disease (ADTKD) subtype HNF1β, which is characterized by renal cysts, diabetes, genital tract malformations, and neurodevelopmental disorders. Electrolyte disturbances including hypomagnesemia, hyperuricemia, and hypocalciuria are common in patients with ADTKD-HNF1β. Traditionally, these electrolyte disturbances have been attributed to HNF1β-mediated transcriptional regulation of gene networks involved in ion transport in the distal part of the nephron including FXYD2, CASR, KCNJ16, and FXR. In this review, we propose additional mechanisms that may contribute to the electrolyte disturbances observed in ADTKD-HNF1β patients. Firstly, kidney development is severely affected in Hnf1b-deficient mice. HNF1β is required for nephron segmentation, and the absence of the transcription factor results in rudimentary nephrons lacking mature proximal tubule, loop of Henle, and distal convoluted tubule cluster. In addition, HNF1β is proposed to be important for apical-basolateral polarity and tight junction integrity in the kidney. Interestingly, cilia formation is unaffected by Hnf1b defects in several models, despite the HNF1β-mediated transcriptional regulation of many ciliary genes. To what extent impaired nephron segmentation, apical-basolateral polarity, and cilia function contribute to electrolyte disturbances in HNF1β patients remains elusive. Systematic phenotyping of Hnf1b mouse models and the development of patient-specific kidney organoid models will be essential to advance future HNF1β research.

Abstract
AIMS Maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 5 (MODY5), a rare disease, is very easy to be misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes. To get better understanding of the disease, we analyzed the clinical characteristics and gene mutations of MODY5. METHODS PubMed, Cochrane, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang were searched with the following search terms: "MODY5" OR "HNF1B maturity-onset diabetes of the young" OR "maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 5" OR "renal cysts and diabetes syndrome". Clinical characteristics and gene mutations of MODY5 were analyzed. The demography, clinical characteristics, and blood indicators of patients were described utilizing simple summary statistics. Variables were analyzed by t-test, Wilcoxon signed rank test, and Fisher exact test. Spearman's correlation analysis was used for bi-variate analysis. All tests were two-sided, and a p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 26 for Windows (SPSS). RESULTS A total of 48 literatures were included in this study, including 61 eligible patients and 4 different mutations. Of the 39 patients with available body weight index, 15 (38.46%) were underweight, 21 (53.85%) were normal weight and 3 (7.69%) were overweight or obese. Of the 38 patients with available family history, 25 (65.79%) reported a family history of diabetes. Of the 34 patients with available age of diabetes diagnosis, the median age of diabetes diagnosis was 16.00 years old and 88.24% (30/34) of patients were under 25 years old when they were first diagnosed with diabetes. Renal cysts were presented in 72.41%, hypomagnesemia in 91.67%, and pancreatic dysplasia in 71.88% of the patients. Patients with hepatocyte nuclear factor 1B (HNF1B) deletion had lower serum magnesium, serum creatinine, and higher eGFR than patients with other gene mutations, and the difference was statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS The young onset of diabetes with low or normal BMI, renal cysts, hypomagnesemia, and pancreatic dysplasia should be recommended to genetic testing in order to differentiate MODY5 from other types of diabetes earlier.

A case report with functional characterization of a HNF1B mutation (p.Leu168Pro) causing MODY5. Clin Pediatr Endocrinol 2021; 30:179-185. [PMID: 34629740 PMCID: PMC8481079 DOI: 10.1297/cpe.30.179] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2021] [Accepted: 07/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
We previously performed next-generation sequencing-based genetic screening in patients
with autoantibody-negative type 1 diabetes, and identified the p.Leu168Pro mutation in
HNF1B. Here,we report the clinical course of the patient and
the results of functional characterization of this mutation. The proband had bilateral
renal hypodysplasia and developed insulin-dependent diabetes during childhood. The
pathogenicity of Leu168Pro-HNF1B was evaluated with three-dimensional structure modeling,
Western blotting, immunofluorescence analysis and luciferase reporter assays using human
embryonic kidney 293 cells. Three-dimensional structure modeling predicted that the Leu168
residue is buried in the DNA-binding Pit-Oct-Unc-specific (POUS) domain and
forms a hydrophobic core. Western blotting showed that the protein expression level of
Leu168Pro-HNF1B was lower than that of wild-type (WT) HNF1B. Immunofluorescence staining
showed that both WT- and Leu168Pro-HNF1B were normally localized in the nucleus. The cells
transfected with WT-HNF1B exhibited 5-fold higher luciferase reporter activity than cells
transfected with an empty vector. The luciferase activities were comparable between
WT-HNF1B/Leu168Pro-HNF1B and WT-HNF1B/empty vector co-transfection. In conclusion,
Leu168Pro is a protein-destabilizing HNF1B mutation, and the
destabilization is likely due to the structural changes involving the hydrophobic core of
POUS. The disease-causing Leu168Pro HNF1B mutation is a
loss-of-function mutation without a dominant-negative effect.

Abstract
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 5 (MODY5) is due to heterozygous mutations or deletion of HNF1B. No mouse models are currently available to recapitulate the human MODY5 disease. Here, we investigate the pancreatic phenotype of a unique MODY5 mouse model generated by heterozygous insertion of a human HNF1B splicing mutation at the intron-2 splice donor site in the mouse genome. This Hnf1bsp2/+ model generated with targeted mutation of Hnf1b mimicking the c.544+1G>T (T) mutation identified in humans, results in alternative transcripts and a 38% decrease of native Hnf1b transcript levels. As a clinical feature of MODY5 patients, the hypomorphic mouse model Hnf1bsp2/+ displays glucose intolerance. Whereas Hnf1bsp2/+ isolated islets showed no altered insulin secretion, we found a 65% decrease in pancreatic insulin content associated with a 30% decrease in total large islet volume and a 20% decrease in total β-cell volume. These defects were associated with a 30% decrease in expression of the pro-endocrine gene Neurog3 that we previously identified as a direct target of Hnf1b, showing a developmental etiology. As another clinical feature of MODY5 patients, the Hnf1bsp2/+ pancreases display exocrine dysfunction with hypoplasia. We observed chronic pancreatitis with loss of acinar cells, acinar-to-ductal metaplasia, and lipomatosis, with upregulation of signaling pathways and impaired acinar cell regeneration. This was associated with ductal cell deficiency characterized by shortened primary cilia. Importantly, the Hnf1bsp2/+ mouse model reproduces the pancreatic features of the human MODY5/HNF1B disease, providing a unique in vivo tool for molecular studies of the endocrine and exocrine defects and to advance basic and translational research. © 2021 The Authors.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic heterogeneous metabolic disorder with complex pathogenesis. It is characterized by elevated blood glucose levels or hyperglycemia, which results from abnormalities in either insulin secretion or insulin action or both. Hyperglycemia manifests in various forms with a varied presentation and results in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolic dysfunctions. Long-term hyperglycemia often leads to various microvascular and macrovascular diabetic complications, which are mainly responsible for diabetes-associated morbidity and mortality. Hyperglycemia serves as the primary biomarker for the diagnosis of diabetes as well. In this review, we would be focusing on the classification of diabetes and its pathophysiology including that of its various types.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus with autosomal dominant inheritance, such as maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), is a genetic form of diabetes mellitus. MODY is a type of monogenic diabetes mellitus in which multiple genetic variants may cause an alteration to the functioning of beta cells. The three most known forms of MODY are caused by modifications to the hnf4a, gck, and hnf1a genes. However, other MODY variants can cause multiple alterations in the embryonic development of the endoderm. This is the case in patients presenting with MODY5, who have a mutation of the hepatic nuclear factor 1B (hnf1b) gene. CASE PRESENTATION We present the clinical case of a 15 year-old patient with a family history of diabetes mellitus and a classical MODY type 5 (MODY5) phenotype involving the pancreas and kidney, with a novel, unreported mutation in the hnf1b gene. CONCLUSIONS MODY5 is characterised by a mutation in the hnf1b gene, which plays an important role in the development and function of multiple organs. It should be suspected in patients with unusual diabetes and multisystem involvement unrelated to diabetes. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Abstract
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a clinically heterogeneous group of monogenic disorders characterized by ß-cell dysfunction. MODY accounts for between 2% and 5% of all diabetes cases, and distinguishing it from type 1 or type 2 diabetes is a diagnostic challenge. Recently, MODY-causing mutations have been identified in 14 different genes. Sanger DNA sequencing is the gold standard for identifying the mutations in MODY-related genes, and may facilitate the diagnosis. Despite the lower frequency among diabetes mellitus cases, a correct genetic diagnosis of MODY is important for optimizing treatment strategies. There is a discrepancy in the disease-causing locus between the Asian and Caucasian patients with MODY. Furthermore, the prevalence of the disease in Asian populations remains to be studied. In this review, the current understanding of MODY is summarized and the Asian studies of MODY are discussed in detail.

Abstract
We report a case of missed diagnosis of maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 5 uncovered during pregnancy with a previous diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. Maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 5 cannot be excluded in early-onset diabetes with positive islet-related autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes-prone human leukocyte antigen subtypes. Abdominal ultrasound should be used in all patients with pre-gestational diabetes, and maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 5 should be considered when renal abnormality is presented.

Abstract
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is characterized by autosomal dominant inheritance, onset before 25 years of age, absence of β-cell autoimmunity, and sustained pancreatic β-cell function. To date, mutations have been identified in at least 14 different genes, including six genes encoding proteins that, respectively, correspond to MODY subtypes 1-6: hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF) 4α (HNF4α), glucokinase (GCK), HNF1α (HNF1 α), pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1 (PDX1), HNF1β (HNF1 β), and neurogenic differentiation 1 (NEUROD1). Diagnostic tools based on currently available genetic tests can facilitate the correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment of patients with MODY. Candidates for genetic testing include nonobese subjects with hyperglycemia, no evidence of β-cell autoimmunity, sustained β-cell function, and a strong family history of similar-type diabetes among first-degree relatives. Moreover, identification of the MODY subtype is important, given the subtype-related differences in the age of onset, clinical course and progression, type of hyperglycemia, and response to treatment. This review discusses the current perspectives on the diagnosis and treatment of MODY, particularly with regard to the six major subtypes (MODY 1-6).

Abstract
Congenital anomalies of the kidneys or lower urinary tract (CAKUT) are the most common causes of renal failure in children and account for 25% of end-stage renal disease in adults. The spectrum of anomalies includes renal agenesis; hypoplasia; dysplasia; supernumerary, ectopic or fused kidneys; duplication; ureteropelvic junction obstruction; primary megaureter or ureterovesical junction obstruction; vesicoureteral reflux; ureterocele; and posterior urethral valves. CAKUT originates from developmental defects and can occur in isolation or as part of other syndromes. In recent decades, along with better understanding of the pathological features of the human congenital urinary tract defects, researchers using animal models have provided valuable insights into the pathogenesis of these diseases. However, the genetic causes and etiology of many CAKUT cases remain unknown, presenting challenges in finding effective treatment. Here we provide an overview of the critical steps of normal development of the urinary system, followed by a description of the pathological features of major types of CAKUT with respect to developmental mechanisms of their etiology.

Abstract
The hepatocyte nuclear factors (HNFs) namely HNF1α/β, FOXA1/2/3, HNF4α/γ and ONECUT1/2 are expressed in a variety of tissues and organs, including the liver, pancreas and kidney. The spatial and temporal manner of HNF expression regulates embryonic development and subsequently the development of multiple tissues during adulthood. Though the HNFs were initially identified individually based on their roles in the liver, numerous studies have now revealed that the HNFs cross-regulate one another and exhibit synergistic relationships in the regulation of tissue development and function. The complex HNF transcriptional regulatory networks have largely been elucidated in rodent models, but less so in human biological systems. Several heterozygous mutations in these HNFs were found to cause diseases in humans but not in rodents, suggesting clear species-specific differences in mutational mechanisms that remain to be uncovered. In this review, we compare and contrast the expression patterns of the HNFs, the HNF cross-regulatory networks and how these liver-enriched transcription factors serve multiple functions in the liver and beyond, extending our focus to the pancreas and kidney. We also summarise the insights gained from both human and rodent studies of mutations in several HNFs that are known to lead to different disease conditions.

Abstract
The term “Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young” (MODY) was first described in 1976 and is currently referred to as monogenic diabetes. There are 14 known entities accounting for 1-2% of diabetes and they are frequently misdiagnosed as either type 1 or type 2 diabetes. MODY-5 is an entity of monogenic diabetes that is associated with genitourinary malformations and should be considered by obstetricians in pregnant women with a screen positive for diabetes, genitourinary malformations, and fetal renal anomalies. Correct diagnosis of monogenic diabetes has implications on managing patients and their families. We are reporting a case of a 21-year-old pregnant woman with a bicornuate uterus, fetal renal anomalies, and a family history of diabetes that were suggestive of a MODY-5 diabetes.

Abstract
Background: Low-grade chronic inflammation is a common feature of obesity and its cardio-metabolic complications. However, little is known about a possible causal role of inflammation in metabolic disorders. Mexico is among the countries with the highest obesity rates in the world and the admixed Mexican population is a relevant sample due to high levels of genetic diversity. Methods: Here, we studied 1,462 Mexican children recruited from Mexico City. Six genetic variants in five inflammation-related genes were genotyped: rs1137101 (leptin receptor (LEPR)), rs7305618 (hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha (HNF1A)), rs1800629 (tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFA)), rs1800896, rs1800871 (interleukin-10 (IL-10)), rs1862513 (resistin (RETN)). Ten continuous and eight binary traits were assessed. Linear and logistic regression models were used adjusting for age, sex, and recruitment centre. Results: We found that one SNP displayed a nominal evidence of association with a continuous trait: rs1800871 (IL-10) with LDL (beta = −0.068 ± 1.006, P = 0.01). Subsequently, we found one nominal association with a binary trait: rs7305618 (HNF1A) with family history of hypertension (odds-ratio = 1.389 [1.054–1.829], P = 0.02). However, no P-value passed the Bonferroni correction for multiple testing. Discussion: Our data in a Mexican children population are consistent with previous reports in European adults in failing to demonstrate an association between inflammation-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and metabolic traits.

Abstract
HNF-1β is a tissue-specific transcription factor that is expressed in the kidney and other epithelial organs. Humans with mutations in HNF-1β develop kidney cysts, and HNF-1β regulates the transcription of several cystic disease genes. However, the complete spectrum of HNF-1β-regulated genes and pathways is not known. Here, using chromatin immunoprecipitation/next generation sequencing and gene expression profiling, we identified 1545 protein-coding genes that are directly regulated by HNF-1β in murine kidney epithelial cells. Pathway analysis predicted that HNF-1β regulates cholesterol metabolism. Expression of dominant negative mutant HNF-1β or kidney-specific inactivation of HNF-1β decreased the expression of genes that are essential for cholesterol synthesis, including sterol regulatory element binding factor 2 (Srebf2) and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (Hmgcr). HNF-1β mutant cells also expressed lower levels of cholesterol biosynthetic intermediates and had a lower rate of cholesterol synthesis than control cells. Additionally, depletion of cholesterol in the culture medium mitigated the inhibitory effects of mutant HNF-1β on the proteins encoded by Srebf2 and Hmgcr, and HNF-1β directly controlled the renal epithelial expression of proprotein convertase subtilisin-like kexin type 9, a key regulator of cholesterol uptake. These findings reveal a novel role of HNF-1β in a transcriptional network that regulates intrarenal cholesterol metabolism.

Abstract
Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1β (HNF1β)-associated disease is a recently recognized clinical entity with a variable multisystem phenotype. Early reports described an association between HNF1B mutations and maturity-onset diabetes of the young. These patients often presented with renal cysts and renal function decline that preceded the diabetes, hence it was initially referred to as renal cysts and diabetes syndrome. However, it is now evident that many more symptoms occur, and diabetes and renal cysts are not always present. The multisystem phenotype is probably attributable to functional promiscuity of the HNF1β transcription factor, involved in the development of the kidney, urogenital tract, pancreas, liver, brain, and parathyroid gland. Nephrologists might diagnose HNF1β-associated kidney disease in patients referred with a suspected diagnosis of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, medullary cystic kidney disease, diabetic nephropathy, or CKD of unknown cause. Associated renal or extrarenal symptoms should alert the nephrologist to HNF1β-associated kidney disease. A considerable proportion of these patients display hypomagnesemia, which sometimes mimics Gitelman syndrome. Other signs include early onset diabetes, gout and hyperparathyroidism, elevated liver enzymes, and congenital anomalies of the urogenital tract. Because many cases of this disease are probably undiagnosed, this review emphasizes the clinical manifestations of HNF1β-associated disease for the nephrologist.

Abstract
The understanding of the genomics of the renal tissue has gathered a considerable interest and is making rapid progress. The molecular mechanisms as well as the precise function of the associated molecular components toward renal pathophysiology have recently been realized. For the cystic kidney disease, the regulation of gene expression affecting epithelial cells proliferation, apoptosis as well as process of differentiation/de-differentiation represent key molecular targets. For the cystic disorders, molecular targets have been identified, which besides lending heterogeneity to cysts may also provide tools to unravel their functional importance to understand the renal tissue homeostasis. This review focuses on providing comprehensive information about the transcriptional regulatory role of hepatocyte nuclear factor-1β, a homeoprotein, as well as its interacting partners in renal tissue development and pathophysiology.

Abstract
Mutation in HNF1B, the hepatocyte nuclear factor-1β (HNF-1β) gene, results in maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) 5, which is characterized by gradual impairment of insulin secretion. However, the functional role of HNF-1β in insulin secretion and glucose metabolism is not fully understood. We identified a family with early-onset diabetes that fulfilled the criteria of MODY. Sanger sequencing revealed that a heterozygous P159L (CCT to CTT in codon 159 in the DNA-binding domain) mutation in HNF1B was segregated according to the affected status. To investigate the functional consequences of this HNF1B mutation, we generated a P159L HNF1B construct. The wild-type and mutant HNF1B constructs were transfected into COS-7 cells in the presence of the promoter sequence of human glucose transporter type 2 (GLUT2). The luciferase reporter assay revealed that P159L HNF1B had decreased transcriptional activity compared to wild-type (p < 0.05). Electrophoretic mobility shift assay showed reduced DNA binding activity of P159L HNF1B. In the MIN6 pancreatic β-cell line, overexpression of the P159L mutant was significantly associated with decreased mRNA levels of GLUT2 compared to wild-type (p < 0.05). However, INS expression was not different between the wild-type and mutant HNF1B constructs. These findings suggests that the impaired insulin secretion in this family with the P159L HNF1B mutation may be related to altered GLUT2 expression in β-cells rather than decreased insulin gene expression. In conclusion, we have identified a Korean family with an HNF1B mutation and characterized its effect on the pathogenesis of diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was aimed at detection of recurrent transmission of the 17q12 microdeletion in a fetus with congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 35-year-old woman was referred to the hospital at 20 weeks' gestation because of hydronephrosis in the fetus. The mother was normal and healthy. Her second child was a girl who had bilateral dysplastic kidneys that required hemodialysis, and died at the age of 5 years. During this pregnancy, the woman underwent amniocentesis at 18 weeks' gestation because of advanced maternal age. Cytogenetic analysis revealed a karyotype of 46,XY. Prenatal ultrasound showed left hydronephrosis with a tortuous ureter, right hydronephrosis, and increased echogenicity of the kidneys. Fetal magnetic resonance imaging showed right dilated renal calyces, left hydronephrosis, hydroureter, and multicystic kidney. The pregnancy was subsequently terminated. Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) and fluorescence in situ hybridization were applied for genetic analysis using umbilical cord, maternal blood, and cultured amniocytes. RESULTS aCGH analysis on umbilical cord detected a 1.75-Mb deletion at 17q12 including haploinsufficiency of LHX1 and HNF1B. aCGH analysis on maternal blood detected a 1.54-Mb deletion at 17q12 including haploinsufficiency of LHX1 and HNF1B. Metaphase fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis on cultured amniocytes and maternal blood lymphocytes using 17q12-specific bacterial artificial chromosome probe showed 17q12 microdeletion in the fetus and the mother. CONCLUSION Prenatal diagnosis of recurrent renal and urinary tract abnormalities in the fetus should include a differential diagnosis of familial 17q12 microdeletion.

Renal fibrosis is the common feature of autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney diseases caused by mutations in mucin 1 or uromodulin. Kidney Int 2014; 86:589-99.

Abstract
For decades, ill-defined autosomal dominant renal diseases have been reported, which originate from tubular cells and lead to tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis. These diseases are clinically indistinguishable, but caused by mutations in at least four different genes: UMOD, HNF1B, REN, and, as recently described, MUC1. Affected family members show renal fibrosis in the biopsy and gradually declining renal function, with renal failure usually occurring between the third and sixth decade of life. Here we describe 10 families and define eligibility criteria to consider this type of inherited disease, as well as propose a practicable approach for diagnosis. In contrast to what the frequently used term 'Medullary Cystic Kidney Disease' implies, development of (medullary) cysts is neither an early nor a typical feature, as determined by MRI. In addition to Sanger and gene panel sequencing of the four genes, we established SNaPshot minisequencing for the predescribed cytosine duplication within a distinct repeat region of MUC1 causing a frameshift. A mutation was found in 7 of 9 families (3 in UMOD and 4 in MUC1), with one indeterminate (UMOD p.T62P). On the basis of clinical and pathological characteristics we propose the term 'Autosomal Dominant Tubulointerstitial Kidney Disease' as an improved terminology. This should enhance recognition and correct diagnosis of affected individuals, facilitate genetic counseling, and stimulate research into the underlying pathophysiology.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate possible association between genotypes and alleles of two 17q12 polymorphisms (rs3760511 and rs7501939) and prostate cancer (PCa) risk and progression. Two hundred seventy-one patients with PCa, 261 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and 171 controls were included in the study. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped by using PCR followed by restriction fragment length (PCR-RFLP) analysis. We conducted meta-analysis of published studies regarding association of these SNPs with PCa risk. Evidence of positive association between the AC genotype of the SNP rs3760511 and BPH risk for the best-fitting overdominant model of association (BPH vs. controls comparison, p = 0.026; odds ratio [OR] = 1.58; 95% confidence interval [95%CI] 1.05-2.36) were obtained. The association between T allele of rs7501939 and PCa risk was determined in PCa versus controls comparison (p = 0.0032; OR = 0.66, 95%CI 0.50-0.87) with the best-fitting model of inheritance being log-additive. This variant was also found to be associated with the risk of BPH (p = 0.0023; OR = 0.65, 95%CI 0.49-0.86). We found no association between parameters of PCa progression and the analyzed SNPs. Meta-analysis showed strong association between these variants and PCa risk. Our study shows association between SNPs at locus 17q12 and the risk of prostatic diseases in Serbian population. At the same time, results of meta-analysis suggest the association of these SNPs with PCa risk.

Abstract
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a monogenic disorder that results in a familial, young-onset non-insulin dependent form of diabetes, typically presenting in lean young adults before 25 years. Approximately 1% of diabetes has a monogenic cause but this is frequently misdiagnosed as Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. A correct genetic diagnosis is important as it often leads to improved treatment for those affected with diabetes and enables predictive genetic testing for their asymptomatic relatives. An early diagnosis together with appropriate treatment is essential for reducing the risk of diabetic complications in later life. Mutations in the GCK and HNF1A/4 A genes account for up to 80% of all MODY cases. Mutations in the GCK gene cause a mild, asymptomatic and non-progressive fasting hyperglycaemia from birth usually requiring no treatment. In contrast, mutations in the genes encoding the transcription factors HNF1A and HNF4A cause a progressive insulin secretory defect and hyperglycaemia that can lead to vascular complications. The diabetes in these patients is usually well controlled with sulphonylurea tablets although insulin treatment may be required in later life. In this review, we outline the key clinical and laboratory characteristics of the common and rarer causes of MODY with the aim of raising awareness of this condition amongst health-care scientists.

Abstract
AIMS Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1β (HNF1B) mutations cause a syndrome of renal cysts and diabetes, with whole gene deletions accounting for approximately 50% of cases. The severity of the renal phenotype is variable, from enlarged cystic kidneys incompatible with life to normal renal development and function. We investigated the prevalence of HNF1B deletions in patients with diabetes but no known renal disease. METHODS We tested 461 patients with familial diabetes diagnosed before 45 years, including 258 probands who met clinical criteria for maturity-onset diabetes of the young (two generations affected and at least one family member diagnosed under 25 years). A fluorescent polymerase chain reaction assay was used to analyse two intragenic polymorphic HNF1B markers and identify heterozygous patients who therefore did not have whole gene deletions. Those patients homozygous for both markers were then tested for an HNF1B deletion using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification. RESULTS Heterozygous HNF1B intragenic polymorphisms were identified in 337/461 subjects. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification analysis showed an HNF1B gene deletion in three of the remaining 124 probands, all of whom met the criteria for maturity-onset diabetes of the young. Testing of their relatives identified three additional deletion carriers and ultrasound scanning showed renal developmental abnormalities in three of these six patients. CONCLUSIONS We estimate that HNF1B mutations account for < 1% of cases of maturity-onset diabetes of the young. Although HNF1B mutations are a rare cause of diabetes in the absence of known renal disease, a genetic diagnosis of renal cysts and diabetes syndrome is important as it raises the possibility of subclinical renal disease and the 50% risk of renal cysts and diabetes syndrome in the patient's offspring.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify whether the genetic variations in HNF1B are associated with the development of prostate cancer in Korean patients. Genome-wide association studies have found the HNF1B gene at 17q12 to be a major causal gene for the risk of prostate cancer. METHODS We evaluated the association of 47 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the HNF1B gene with prostate cancer risk and clinical characteristics (Gleason score and tumor stage) in Korean men (240 case subjects and 223 control subjects) using unconditional logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Of the 47 SNPs, 14 were associated with prostate cancer risk (P = .002-.02); 9 SNPs were associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer (odds ratio 0.67-0.71, P = .005-.05), and 5 SNPs were associated with a greater risk of disease (odds ratio 1.49-1.51, P = .002-.02). In an analysis involving only patients with prostate cancer, 1 SNP (rs11868513) in the HNF1B gene was more frequent in patients with tumors with a greater stage than in those with a lower tumor stage. Two SNPs (rs4430796 and rs2074429) and 1 haplotype (Block3_ht1) were more frequent in patients with Gleason score of ≥7 than in those with Gleason score <6. CONCLUSION As in studies from other populations, our findings indicate that HNF1B is also associated with prostate cancer risk in the Korean population.

Abstract
We describe the first reported case of a prenatally diagnosed and recently described 17q12 microdeletion syndrome. The fetus was noted to have a congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), echogenic kidneys and cystic left lung on prenatal ultrasound. The patient underwent amniocentesis which resulted in a normal fluorescence in-situ hybridization and karyotype. An oligonucleotide microarray was then performed which demonstrated a 1.4-Mb deletion within the 17q12 region. The deletion caused haploinsufficiency for 17 genes, including AATF, ACACA, DDX52, DUSP14, GGNBP2, HNF-1B, LHX1, PIGW, SYNRG, TADA2A, and ZNHIT3. The deleted region on 17q12 is similar in size and gene content to previously reported 17q12 microdeletion syndromes, which have a minimal critical region of 1.52 Mb. The newly described 17q12 microdeletion syndrome has been associated with MODY5 (maturity-onset of diabetes of the young type 5), cystic renal disease, pancreatic atrophy, liver abnormalities, cognitive impairment and structural brain abnormalities. CDH has not been previously described with the 17q12 microdeletion syndrome. We hypothesize that CDH is part of the spectrum of this syndrome and likely not detected postnatally due to high prenatal mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies report difficulties in genotyping HNF1β rs757210 using TaqMan probes. This is possibly due to the tri-allelic nature of this single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). The aim of the present research was to develop alternative methods for genotyping rs757210. METHODS Pyrosequencing and high resolution melting analysis of small amplicons (HRM) were developed and tested in panels of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (n=258) and healthy blood donors (n=183). Results were confirmed by Sanger sequencing. RESULTS With pyrosequencing, allele frequencies for the A, G and C allele of 0.42, 0.56, 0.02 and 0.37, 0.62, 0.01 were established in the panel of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and healthy blood donors, respectively. Similar results were found using the more routinely available HRM method. Results for pyrosequencing and HRM were in 99.6% concordance. CONCLUSIONS Pyrosequencing and HRM can be used to genotype the tri-allelic SNP rs757210 in the HNF1β gene and have the advantage over the commercially available TaqMan analysis that they can determine the rare C-allele variant.

Abstract
Mutations in HNF1B are responsible for a dominantly inherited disease with renal and nonrenal consequences, including maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) type 5. While HNF1B nephropathy is typically responsible for bilateral renal cystic hypodysplasia in childhood, the adult phenotype is poorly described. To help define this we evaluated the clinical presentation, imaging findings, genetic changes, and disease progression in 27 adults from 20 families with HNF1B nephropathy. Whole-gene deletion was found in 11 families, point mutations in 9, and de novo mutations in half of the kindred tested. Renal involvement was extremely heterogeneous, with a tubulointerstitial profile at presentation and slowly progressive renal decline throughout adulthood as hallmarks of the disease. In 24 patients tested, there were cysts (≤5 per kidney) in 15, a solitary kidney in 5, hypokalemia in 11, and hypomagnesemia in 10 of 16 tested, all as characteristics pointing to HNF1B disease. Two patients presented with renal Fanconi syndrome and, overall, 4 progressed to end-stage renal failure. Extrarenal phenotypes consisted of diabetes mellitus in 13 of the 27 patients, including 11 with MODY, abnormal liver tests in 8 of 21, diverse genital tract abnormalities in 5 of 13 females, and infertility in 2 of 14 males. Thus, our findings provide data that are useful for recognition and diagnosis of HNF1B disease in adulthood and might help in renal management and genetic counseling.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Congenital uterine abnormalities are common and may be associated with developmental renal abnormalities. Mutations of the hepatocyte nuclear factor-1β (HNF1B) gene are associated with renal and uterine abnormalities. We aimed to study the role of HNF1B mutations in a cohort with congenital uterine abnormalities. STUDY DESIGN We tested 108 probands with uterine abnormalities for HNF1B mutations. We collected clinical information from patient records. RESULTS Nine of 108 women (8%) had a mutation or deletion in the HNF1B gene. Abnormal HNF1B was found in 18% of the 50 probands who had both uterine and renal abnormalities but in none of the 58 women with isolated uterine abnormalities. CONCLUSION Mutations of the HNF1B gene are found in women with both uterine and renal abnormalities but are rare in isolated uterine abnormalities. We suggest that HNF1B testing should be performed in patients with both renal and uterine abnormalities, but not in patients with isolated uterine abnormalities.

Abstract
We provide a molecular and pathophysiological characterization of an 11-year-old male patient, with a diagnosis of renal hypodysplasia, cysts and chronic renal failure. Although previously normoglycaemic and with a negative familial history for diabetes mellitus, he developed fasting hyperglycaemia within 12 months of the start of treatment with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH). Direct sequencing of the HNF1 beta gene revealed a de novo heterozygous mutation in exon 2, c.535delC [Pro118LeuX7]+[=]. The appearance of fasting hyperglycaemia following rhGH treatment in children with renal cystic hypodysplasia suggests that investigation of the HNF1 beta gene is warranted, even when familial history is negative for diabetes. This is particularly important in regard to genetic counselling.

Abstract
Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1beta (HNF1beta) abnormalities have been recognized to cause congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT), predominantly affecting bilateral renal malformations. To further understand the spectrum of HNF1beta related phenotypes, we performed HNF1B gene mutation and deletion analyses in Japanese patients with renal hypodysplasia (n = 31), unilateral multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK; n = 14) and others (n = 5). We identified HNF1B alterations in 5 out of 50 patients (10%). De novo heterozygous complete deletions of HNF1B were found in 3 patients with unilateral MCDK. Two of the patients showed contralateral hypodysplasia, whereas the other patient showed a radiologically normal contralateral kidney with normal renal function. Copy number variation analyses showed 1.4 Mb microdeletions involving the whole HNF1B gene with breakpoints in flanking segmental duplications. We also identified 1 novel truncated mutation (1007insC) and another missense mutation (226G>T) in patients with bilateral hypodysplasia. HNF1B alterations leading to haploinsufficiency affect a diverse spectrum of CAKUT. The existence of a patient with unilateral MCDK with normal renal function might provide genetic insight into the etiology of these substantial populations of only unilateral MCDK. The recurrent microdeletions encompassing HNF1B could have a significant impact on the mechanism of HNF1B deletions.

Abstract
CONTEXT Glomerular cysts, defined as Bowman space dilatation greater than 2 to 3 times normal size, are found in disorders of diverse etiology and with a spectrum of clinical manifestations. The term glomerulocystic kidney (GCK) refers to a kidney with greater than 5% cystic glomeruli. Although usually a disease of the young, GCK also occurs in adults. OBJECTIVE To assess the recent molecular genetics of GCK, review our files, revisit the literature, and perform in silico experiments. DATA SOURCES We retrieved 20 cases from our files and identified more than 230 cases published in the literature under several designations. CONCLUSIONS Although GCK is at least in part a variant of autosomal dominant or recessive polycystic kidney disease (PKD), linkage analysis has excluded PKD-associated gene mutations in many cases of GCK. A subtype of familial GCK, presenting with cystic kidneys, hyperuricemia, and isosthenuria is due to uromodullin mutations. In addition, the familial hypoplastic variant of GCK that is associated with diabetes is caused by mutations in TCF2, the gene encoding hepatocyte nuclear factor-1beta. The term GCK disease (GCKD) should be reserved for the latter molecularly recognized/inherited subtypes of GCK (not to include PKD). Review of our cases, the literature, and our in silico analysis of the overlapping genetic entities integrates established molecular-genetic functions into a proposed model of glomerulocystogenesis; a classification scheme emerged that (1) emphasizes the clinical significance of glomerular cysts, (2) provides a pertinent differential diagnosis, and (3) suggests screening for probable mutations.

Abstract
CONTEXT Renal cystic diseases and congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract comprise a heterogeneous group of lesions whose pathogenesis has eluded physicians for centuries. Recent advances in molecular and genetic understanding of these diseases may provide the solution to this riddle. OBJECTIVE The formulation of an effective classification system for these disorders has been elusive but is needed to introduce order while providing a conceptual framework for diagnosis. DATA SOURCES This review discusses the evolution, beginning in the 19th century, of postulates regarding the pathogenesis of cystic and developmental renal diseases. Selected classification systems proffered during this period are discussed in pursuit of an ideal classification schema that would account for morphologic features and their clinical importance, with logical links to pathogenesis and treatment. Although this remains an elusive target, its general outline is becoming clearer. A classification approach favored by the author is presented, which incorporates many of the strengths contained in several previous classifications. CONCLUSIONS Genetic-and molecular-based postulates regarding the pathogenesis of the renal cystic and developmental diseases have implicated mutated master genes and the modification of genes that are crucial in renal development and genes that are central to the sensory effects of the renal tubular primary cilium on cell physiology. These scientific advances provide pathogenetic links between morphologically and genetically distinct entities and certain cystic and neoplastic entities, associations that seemed implausible not long ago. These advances may eventually provide the basis for future classification systems while suggesting targets for therapeutic approaches in the prevention and treatment of these diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) account for the majority of end-stage renal disease in children (50%). Previous studies have mapped autosomal dominant loci for CAKUT. We here report a genome-wide search for linkage in a large pedigree of Somalian descent containing eight affected individuals with a non-syndromic form of CAKUT. METHODS Clinical data and blood samples were obtained from a Somalian family with eight individuals with CAKUT including high-grade vesicoureteral reflux and unilateral renal agenesis. Total genome search for linkage was performed using a 50K SNP Affymetric DNA microarray. As neither parent is affected, the results of the SNP array were analysed under recessive models of inheritance, with and without the assumption of consanguinity. RESULTS Using the non-consanguineous recessive model, a new gene locus (CAKUT1) for CAKUT was mapped to chromosome 8q24 with a significant maximum parametric Logarithm of the ODDs (LOD) score (LOD(max)) of 4.2. Recombinations were observed in two patients defining a critical genetic interval of 2.5 Mb physical distance flanked by markers SNP_A-1740062 and SNP_A-1653225. CONCLUSION We have thus identified a new non-syndromic recessive gene locus for CAKUT (CAKUT1) on chromosome 8q24. The identification of the disease-causing gene will provide further insights into the pathogenesis of urinary tract malformations and mechanisms of renal development.

Abstract
AIMS HNF1B-maturity-onset diabetes of the young is caused by abnormalities in the HNF1B gene encoding the transcription factor HNF-1beta. We aimed to investigate detailed clinical features and the type of HNF1B gene anomaly in five pediatric cases with HNF1B-MODY. METHODS From a cohort of 995 children and adolescents with diabetes, we analyzed the most frequent maturity-onset diabetes of the young genes (GCK, HNF1A, HNF4A) including HNF1B sequencing and deletion analysis by quantitative Multiplex-PCR of Short Fluorescent Fragments (QMPSF) if patients were islet autoantibody-negative and had one parent with diabetes or associated extrapancreatic features or detectable C-peptide outside honeymoon phase. Presence and size of disease-causing chromosomal rearrangements detected by QMPSF were further analyzed by array comparative genomic hybridization. RESULTS Overall, five patients had a heterozygous HNF1B deletion, presenting renal disease, elevated liver enzymes, and diabetes. Diabetes was characterized by insulin resistance and adolescent onset of hyperglycemia. Additionally, clinical features in some patients were pancreas dysplasia and exocrine insufficiency (two of five patients), genital defects (three of five), mental retardation (two of five), and eye abnormalities (coloboma, cataract in two of five). One case also had severe growth deficit combined with congenital cholestasis, and another case had common variable immune deficiency. All patients reported here had monoallelic loss of the entire HNF1B gene. Whole genome array comparative genomic hybridization confirmed a precurrent genomic deletion of approximately 1.3-1.7 Mb in size. CONCLUSION The clinical data of our cases enlarge the wide spectrum of patients with HNF1B anomaly. The underlying molecular defect in all cases was a 1.3- to 1.7-Mb deletion, and paired, segmental duplications along with breakpoints were most likely involved in this recurrent chromosomal microdeletion.

Abstract
Mutations in hepatocyte nuclear factor 1B (HNF1B), which is a transcription factor expressed in tissues including renal epithelia, associate with abnormal renal development. While studying renal phenotypes of children with HNF1B mutations, we identified a teenager who presented with tetany and hypomagnesemia. We retrospectively reviewed radiographic and laboratory data for all patients from a single center who had been screened for an HNF1B mutation. We found heterozygous mutations in 21 (23%) of 91 cases of renal malformation. All mutation carriers had abnormal fetal renal ultrasonography. Plasma magnesium levels were available for 66 patients with chronic kidney disease (stages 1 to 3). Striking, 44% (eight of 18) of mutation carriers had hypomagnesemia (<1.58 mg/dl) compared with 2% (one of 48) of those without mutations (P < 0.0001). The median plasma magnesium was significantly lower among mutation carriers than those without mutations (1.68 versus 2.02 mg/dl; P < 0.0001). Because hypermagnesuria and hypocalciuria accompanied the hypomagnesemia, we analyzed genes associated with hypermagnesuria and detected highly conserved HNF1 recognition sites in FXYD2, a gene that can cause autosomal dominant hypomagnesemia and hypocalciuria when mutated. Using a luciferase reporter assay, we demonstrated HNF1B-mediated transactivation of FXYD2. These results extend the phenotype of HNF1B mutations to include hypomagnesemia. HNF1B regulates transcription of FXYD2, which participates in the tubular handling of Mg(2+), thus describing a role for HNF1B not only in nephrogenesis but also in the maintenance of tubular function.

Abstract
TCF2 gene's mutation of autosomal dominant inheritance, encoding for the HNF-1 beta transcription factor, is associated with monogenic Mody5 diabetes, renal structural and urogenital abnormalities, and hepatic cholestasis. We have identified a family with HNF-1 beta gene's mutation, and very different phenotypic expression: renal abnormalities with cysts, nephrocalcinosis, polyuropolydipsic syndrome, Mody5 diabetes, genital malformations. Molecular analysis identified a mutation of exon 4 of the TCF2 gene. The coexistence in the same family of pleiomorphic renal malformations (cysts, renal agenesia or hypoplasia, renal failure) with Mody-type diabetes, with an autosomal inheritance must lead to the search for a mutation of TCF2, one of the most frequent genetic renal diseases.

Abstract
The frog Xenopus is a well established vertebrate model to study the processes involved in embryogenesis and organogenesis, as it can be manipulated easily with a whole series of methods. We have expanded these approaches by establishing two transgenic Xenopus strains that allow specific interference with the activity of defined genes using a heat-shock inducible Cre recombinase that can induce upon heat-shock expression of a reporter gene in crossings to a corresponding reporter strain. We have applied this binary technique of gene interference in Xenopus development to overexpress the mutated HNF1 beta transcription factor at distinct developmental stages. Induction of HNF1 beta P328L329del by heat-shock at the gastrula stage resulted in a dramatic phenotype including malformation of the pronephros, gut, stomach, abnormal tail development and massive edemas indicative for kidney dysfunction. Thus, we have established the first binary inducible gene expression system in Xenopus laevis that can be used to study organogenesis.
