Abstract
Background Tolvaptan is the only US Food and Drug Administration-approved drug to slow the progression of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), but it requires strict clinical monitoring due to potential serious adverse events. Objective We aimed to share our experience in developing and implementing an electronic health record (EHR)-based application to monitor patients with ADPKD who were initiated on tolvaptan. Methods The application was developed in collaboration with clinical informatics professionals based on our clinical protocol with frequent laboratory test monitoring to detect early drug-related toxicity. The application streamlined the clinical workflow and enabled our nursing team to take appropriate actions in real time to prevent drug-related serious adverse events. We retrospectively analyzed the characteristics of the enrolled patients. Results As of September 2022, a total of 214 patients were enrolled in the tolvaptan program across all Mayo Clinic sites. Of these, 126 were enrolled in the Tolvaptan Monitoring Registry application and 88 in the Past Tolvaptan Patients application. The mean age at enrollment was 43.1 (SD 9.9) years. A total of 20 (9.3%) patients developed liver toxicity, but only 5 (2.3%) had to discontinue the drug. The 2 EHR-based applications allowed consolidation of all necessary patient information and real-time data management at the individual or population level. This approach facilitated efficient staff workflow, monitoring of drug-related adverse events, and timely prescription renewal. Conclusions Our study highlights the feasibility of integrating digital applications into the EHR workflow to facilitate efficient and safe care delivery for patients enrolled in a tolvaptan program. This workflow needs further validation but could be extended to other health care systems managing chronic diseases requiring drug monitoring.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common monogenic kidney disease. Emerging research indicates that the Notch signaling pathway plays an indispensable role in the pathogenesis of numerous kidney diseases, including ADPKD. Herein, we identified that Notch3 but not other Notch receptors was overexpressed in renal tissues from mice with ADPKD and ADPKD patients. Inhibiting Notch3 with γ-secretase inhibitors, which block a proteolytic cleavage required for Notch3 activation, or shRNA knockdown of Notch3 significantly delayed renal cyst growth in vitro and in vivo. Subsequent mechanistic study elucidated that the cleaved intracellular domain of Notch3 (N3ICD) and Hes1 could bind to the PTEN promoter, leading to transcriptional inhibition of PTEN. This further activated the downstream PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway and promoted renal epithelial cell proliferation. Overall, Notch3 was identified as a novel contributor to renal epithelial cell proliferation and cystogenesis in ADPKD. We envision that Notch3 represents a promising target for ADPKD treatment.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a devastating disorder caused by mutations in polycystin 1 ( PKD1 ) and polycystin 2 ( PKD2 ). Currently, the mechanism for renal cyst formation remains unclear. Here, we provide convincing and conclusive data in mice demonstrating that Pkd2 deletion in embryonic Aqp2 + progenitor cells (AP), but not in neonate or adult Aqp2 + cells, is sufficient to cause severe polycystic kidney disease (PKD) with progressive loss of intercalated cells and complete elimination of α -intercalated cells, accurately recapitulating a newly identified cellular phenotype of patients with ADPKD. Hence, Pkd2 is a new potential regulator critical for balanced AP differentiation into, proliferation, and/or maintenance of various cell types, particularly α -intercalated cells. The Pkd2 conditional knockout mice developed in this study are valuable tools for further studies on collecting duct development and early steps in cyst formation. The finding that Pkd2 loss triggers the loss of intercalated cells is a suitable topic for further mechanistic studies. BACKGROUND Most cases of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) are caused by mutations in PKD1 or PKD2. Currently, the mechanism for renal cyst formation remains unclear. Aqp2 + progenitor cells (AP) (re)generate ≥5 cell types, including principal cells and intercalated cells in the late distal convoluted tubules (DCT2), connecting tubules, and collecting ducts. METHODS Here, we tested whether Pkd2 deletion in AP and their derivatives at different developmental stages is sufficient to induce PKD. Aqp2Cre Pkd2f/f ( Pkd2AC ) mice were generated to disrupt Pkd2 in embryonic AP. Aqp2ECE/+Pkd2f/f ( Pkd2ECE ) mice were tamoxifen-inducted at P1 or P60 to inactivate Pkd2 in neonate or adult AP and their derivatives, respectively. All induced mice were sacrificed at P300. Immunofluorescence staining was performed to categorize and quantify cyst-lining cell types. Four other PKD mouse models and patients with ADPKD were similarly analyzed. RESULTS Pkd2 was highly expressed in all connecting tubules/collecting duct cell types and weakly in all other tubular segments. Pkd2AC mice had obvious cysts by P6 and developed severe PKD and died by P17. The kidneys had reduced intercalated cells and increased transitional cells. Transitional cells were negative for principal cell and intercalated cell markers examined. A complete loss of α -intercalated cells occurred by P12. Cysts extended from the distal renal segments to DCT1 and possibly to the loop of Henle, but not to the proximal tubules. The induced Pkd2ECE mice developed mild PKD. Cystic α -intercalated cells were found in the other PKD models. AQP2 + cells were found in cysts of only 13/27 ADPKD samples, which had the same cellular phenotype as Pkd2AC mice. CONCLUSIONS Hence, Pkd2 deletion in embryonic AP, but unlikely in neonate or adult Aqp2 + cells (principal cells and AP), was sufficient to cause severe PKD with progressive elimination of α -intercalated cells, recapitulating a newly identified cellular phenotype of patients with ADPKD. We proposed that Pkd2 is critical for balanced AP differentiation into, proliferation, and/or maintenance of cystic intercalated cells, particularly α -intercalated cells.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a very common hereditary renal disorder. Mutations in PKD1 and PKD2 , identified as disease-causing genes, account for 85% and 15% of the ADPKD cases, respectively. METHODS In this study, the mutation analysis of polycystic kidney disease (PKD) genes was performed in a Chinese family with suspected ADPKD using targeted clinical exome sequencing (CES). The candidate pathogenic variants were further tested by using Sanger sequencing and validated for co-segregation. In addition, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed to test for abnormal splicing and assess its potential pathogenicity. RESULTS A novel atypical splicing mutation that belongs to unclassified variants (UCVs), IVS6+5G>C, was identified in three family members by CES and was shown to co-segregate only with the affected individuals. The RT-PCR revealed the abnormal splicing of exon 6, which thus caused truncating mutation. These findings suggested that the atypical splice site alteration, IVS6+5G>C, in the PKD2 gene was the potential pathogenic mutation leading to ADPKD in this Chinese family. CONCLUSION The data available in this study provided strong evidence that IVS6+5G>C is the potential pathogenic mutation for ADPKD. In addition, our findings emphasised the significance of functional analysis of UCVs and genotype-phenotype correlation in ADPKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is the most common genetic cause of kidney disease. It is a progressive and irreversible condition that can lead to end-stage renal disease and many other visceral complications. Current comprehensive data on PKD patterns in Africa is lacking. AIM To describe the prevalence and outcomes of PKD in the African population. METHODS A literature search of PubMed, African journal online, and Google Scholar databases between 2000 and 2023 was performed. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses were followed to design the study. Clinical presentations and outcomes of patients were extracted from the included studies. RESULTS Out of 106 articles, we included 13 studies from 7 African countries. Ten of them were retrospective descriptive studies concerning 943 PKD patients with a mean age of 47.9 years. The accurate prevalence and incidence of PKD were not known but it represented the third causal nephropathy among dialysis patients. In majority of patients, the diagnosis of the disease was often delayed. Kidney function impairment, abdominal mass, and hypertension were the leading symptoms at presentation with a pooled prevalence of 72.1% (69.1-75.1), 65.8% (62.2-69.4), and 57.4% (54.2-60.6) respectively. Hematuria and infections were the most frequent complications. Genotyping was performed in few studies that revealed a high proportion of new mutations mainly in the PKD1 gene. CONCLUSION The prevalence of PKD in African populations is not clearly defined. Clinical symptoms were almost present with most patients who had kidney function impairment and abdominal mass at the diagnostic. Larger studies including genetic testing are needed to determine the burden of PKD in African populations.

Abstract
There is a broad phenotypic spectrum of monogenic polycystic kidney diseases (PKDs). These disorders often involve cilia-related genes and lead to the development of fluid-filled cysts and eventual kidney function decline and failure. Preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic (PGT-M) disorders has moved into the clinical realm. It allows prospective parents to avoid passing on heritable diseases to their children, including monogenic PKD. The PGT-M process involves embryo generation through in vitro fertilization, with subsequent testing of embryos and selective transfer of those that do not harbor the specific disease-causing variant(s). There is a growing body of literature supporting the success of PGT-M for autosomal-dominant and autosomal-recessive PKD, although with important technical limitations in some cases. This technology can be applied to many other types of monogenic PKD and ciliopathies despite the lack of existing reports in the literature. PGT-M for monogenic PKD, like other forms of assisted reproductive technology, raises important ethical questions. When considering PGT-M for kidney diseases, as well as the potential to avoid disease in future generations, there are regulatory and ethical considerations. These include limited government regulation and unstandardized consent processes, potential technical errors, high cost and equity concerns, risks associated with pregnancy for mothers with kidney disease, and the impact on all involved in the process, including the children who were made possible with this technology.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this study is to provide an overview of the role of genetic testing in the evaluation of kidney transplant candidates and living donors who may be at risk for heritable kidney disease. We focus our discussion on monogenic diseases, excluding renal diseases that have complex polygenic influences. Adoption of new technologies such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) with comprehensive gene panels has greatly enabled access to genetic testing recently; yet transplant professionals rarely receive adequate training in clinical genetics. In addition to a broad discussion of genetic testing, we hope to illustrate the thought processes and resources used in clinical genetic evaluation of recipient candidates and donors. RECENT FINDINGS Targeted renal genetic panels, whole exome and genome sequencing have greatly expanded our ability to test for pathogenic variants. Testing methods, analytic tools and the subsequent interpretation by the testing laboratory and treating physician impacts patient management and clinicians may lack the resources to practice in this new era of genomic medicine. SUMMARY The expansion of genomics into transplant medicine can provide improved diagnosis in transplant candidates and potentially disease prediction in living donors. Transplant professionals need to be familiar with emerging trends, promises and limitations of NGS-based testing.

Abstract
Tolvaptan is the first disease-modifying drug proven to slow eGFR decline in high-risk patients with ADPKD. However, barriers from the patient perspective to its use in real-life settings have not been systemically examined in a large cohort. This was a single-center, retrospective study of 523 existing or new patients with ADPKD followed at the Center for Innovative Management of PKD in Toronto, Ontario, between January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018. All patients underwent clinical assessment including total kidney volume measurements and Mayo Clinic Imaging Class (MCIC). Those who were deemed to be at high risk were offered tolvaptan with their preference (yes or no) and reasons for their choices recorded. Overall, 315/523 (60%) patients had MCIC 1C-1E; however, only 96 (30%) of them were treated with tolvaptan at their last follow-up. Among these high-risk patients, those not treated versus treated with tolvaptan were more likely to have a higher eGFR (82 ± 26 vs. 61 ± 27 ml/min/1.73 m2), CKD stages 1-2 (79% vs. 41%), and MCIC 1C (63% vs. 31%). The most common reasons provided for not taking tolvaptan were lifestyle preference related to the aquaretic effect (51%), older age ≥ 60 (12%), and pregnancy/family planning (6%). In this real-world experience, at least 60% of patients with ADPKD considered to be at high risk for progression to ESKD by imaging were not treated with tolvaptan; most of them had early stages of CKD with well-preserved eGFR and as such, were prime targets for tolvaptan therapy to slow disease progression. Given that the most common reason for tolvaptan refusal was the concern for intolerability of the aquaretic side-effect, strategies to mitigate this may help to reduce this barrier to tolvaptan therapy.

Abstract
Introduction Due to the wide variation in the prognosis of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), prediction of risk of renal survival in ADPKD patients is a tough challenge. We aimed to establish a nomogram for the prediction of renal survival in ADPKD patients. Methods We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study in 263 patients with ADPKD. The patients were randomly assigned to a training set (N = 198) and a validation set (N = 65), and demographic and statistical data at baseline were collected. The total kidney volume was measured using stereology. A clinical prediction nomogram was developed based on multivariate Cox regression results. The performance and clinical utility of the nomogram were assessed by calibration curves, the concordance index (C-index), and decision curve analysis (DCA). The nomogram was compared with the height-adjusted total kidney volume (htTKV) model by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and DCA. Results The five independent factors used to construct the nomogram for prognosis prediction were age, htTKV, estimated glomerular filtration rate, hypertension, and hemoglobin. The calibration curve of predicted probabilities against observed renal survival indicated excellent concordance. The model showed very good discrimination with a C-index of 0.91 (0.83-0.99) and an area under the curve of 0.94, which were significantly higher than those of the htTKV model. Similarly, DCA demonstrated that the nomogram had a better net benefit than the htTKV model. Conclusion The risk prediction nomogram, incorporating easily assessable clinical parameters, was effective for the prediction of renal survival in ADPKD patients. It can be a useful clinical adjunct for clinicians to evaluate the prognosis of ADPKD patients and provide individualized decision-making.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hypertension is an early finding of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and is related to different mechanisms. Cyst expansion-related renin secretion or early endothelial dysfunctions are some of these hypotheses. In addition, the underlying genetic factor is thought to play a role in the inheritance of hypertension. The differential course of hypertension in ADPKD preoccupies that relatives of ADPKD patients may also be at risk for this underlying mechanisms with a genetically determined abnormal endothelial-vascular state. In this study, we aimed to evaluate blood pressure response to exercise as an initial vascular problem in unaffected and normotensive relatives of hypertensive ADPKD patients. METHODS This is an observational study including unaffected and normotensive relatives (siblings and children) of ADPKD patients (relative group) and healthy controls (control group) who performed an exercise stress test. A 6-lead electrocardiogram was recorded and blood pressure was measured automatically with a cuff worn on the right arm, immediately before the test and every 3 min during the exercise and the recovery phase. Participants continued the test until their age-specific target heart rate was reached or symptoms occurred that required discontinuation of the test. The highest blood pressure and pulse values during exercise were noted. In addition, as a marker for endothelial function, nitric oxide (NO) and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) levels were measured at baseline and post-exercise. RESULTS There were 24 participants in the relative group (16 female, mean age 38.45 years) and 30 participants in the control group (15 female, mean age 37.96 years). Two groups were similar in terms of age, gender, body mass index (BMI), smoking status, resting systolic blood pressure (SBP)/diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and biochemical parameters. Mean SBP and DBP were similar in both groups during 1st, 3rd and 9th minutes of exercise (1st minute: 136.25 ± 19.71 mmHg vs 140.36 ± 30.79 mmHg for SBP, p = 0.607, 84.05 ± 14.75 mmHg vs 82.60 ± 21.60 mmHg for DBP, p = 0.799; 3rd minute: 150.75 ± 30.39 mmHg vs 148.54 ± 27.30 mmHg for SBP, p = 0.801, 98.95 ± 26.92 mmHg vs 85.92 ± 17.93 mmHg for DBP, p = 0.062; 9th minute: 156.35 ± 30.84 mmHg vs 166.43 ± 31.90 mmHg for SBP, p = 0.300, 96.25 ± 21.99 mmHg vs 101.78 ± 33.11 mmHg for DBP, p = 0.529 for control and relatives, respectively). During the recovery phase, SBP decreased in both groups in 6th minute (119.85 ± 14.06 mmHg vs 122.86 ± 16.76 mmHg, p = 0.538 for control and relatives respectively); however, in the relatives of ADPKD patients DBP remained high at the end of the 6th minute (78.95 ± 11.29 mmHg vs 86.67 ± 9.81 mmHg p = 0.025 for control and relatives, respectively). Baseline and post-exercise NO and ADMA levels were similar in both groups (Baseline p = 0.214 and p = 0.818, post-exercise p = 0.652 and p = 0.918 for NO and ADMA, respectively). CONCLUSION Abnormal blood pressure response to exercise was observed in unaffected normotensive relatives of ADPKD. Although its clinical significance needs to be demonstrated by additional research, it is an important finding that unaffected relatives of ADPKD may be at risk for an altered arterial vascular network. Furthermore, these data are the first to demonstrate that relatives of ADPKD patients may also be under risk with a genetically determined abnormal vascular state.

Abstract
The nonmotile primary cilium is a sensory structure found on most mammalian cell types that integrates multiple signaling pathways involved in tissue development and postnatal function. As such, mutations disrupting cilia activities cause a group of disorders referred to as ciliopathies. These disorders exhibit a wide spectrum of phenotypes impacting nearly every tissue. In the kidney, primary cilia dysfunction caused by mutations in polycystin 1 (Pkd1), polycystin 2 (Pkd2), or polycystic kidney and hepatic disease 1 (Pkhd1), result in polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a progressive disorder causing renal functional decline and end-stage renal disease. PKD affects nearly 1 in 1000 individuals and as there is no cure for PKD, patients frequently require dialysis or renal transplantation. Pkd1, Pkd2, and Pkhd1 encode membrane proteins that all localize in the cilium. Pkd1 and Pkd2 function as a nonselective cation channel complex while Pkhd1 protein function remains uncertain. Data indicate that the cilium may act as a mechanosensor to detect fluid movement through renal tubules. Other functions proposed for the cilium and PKD proteins in cyst development involve regulation of cell cycle and oriented division, regulation of renal inflammation and repair processes, maintenance of epithelial cell differentiation, and regulation of mitochondrial structure and metabolism. However, how loss of cilia or cilia function leads to cyst development remains elusive. Studies directed at understanding the roles of Pkd1, Pkd2, and Pkhd1 in the cilium and other locations within the cell will be important for developing therapeutic strategies to slow cyst progression.

Abstract
New image-derived biomarkers for patients affected by autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease are needed to improve current clinical management. The measurement of total kidney volume (TKV) provides critical information for clinicians to drive care decisions. However, patients with similar TKV may present with very different phenotypes, often requiring subjective decisions based on other factors (e.g., appearance of healthy kidney parenchyma, a few cysts contributing significantly to overall TKV, etc.). In this study, we describe a new technique to individually segment cysts and quantify biometric parameters including cyst volume, cyst number, parenchyma volume, and cyst parenchyma surface area. Using data from the Consortium for Radiologic Imaging Studies of Polycystic Kidney Disease (CRISP) study the utility of these new parameters was explored, both quantitatively as well as visually. Total cyst number and cyst parenchyma surface area showed superior prediction of the slope of estimated glomerular filtration rate decline, kidney failure and chronic kidney disease stages 3A, 3B, and 4, compared to TKV. In addition, presentations such as a few large cysts contributing significantly to overall kidney volume were shown to be much better stratified in terms of outcome predictions. Thus, these new image biomarkers, which can be obtained automatically, will have great utility in future studies and clinical care for patients affected by autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by the formation of numerous fluid-filled cysts that lead to progressive loss of functional nephrons. Currently, there is an unmet need for diagnostic and prognostic indicators of early stages of the disease. Metabolites were extracted from the urine of patients with early-stage ADPKD (n = 48 study participants) and age- and sex-matched normal controls (n = 47) and analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis was used to generate a global metabolomic profile of early ADPKD for the identification of metabolic pathway alterations and discriminatory metabolites as candidates of diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. The global metabolomic profile exhibited alterations in steroid hormone biosynthesis and metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, pyruvate metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and the urea cycle. A panel of 46 metabolite features was identified as candidate diagnostic biomarkers. Notable putative identities of candidate diagnostic biomarkers for early detection include creatinine, cAMP, deoxycytidine monophosphate, various androgens (testosterone; 5-α-androstane-3,17,dione; trans-dehydroandrosterone), betaine aldehyde, phosphoric acid, choline, 18-hydroxycorticosterone, and cortisol. Metabolic pathways associated with variable rates of disease progression included steroid hormone biosynthesis and metabolism, vitamin D3 metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, the pentose phosphate pathway, tricarboxylic acid cycle, amino acid metabolism, sialic acid metabolism, and chondroitin sulfate and heparin sulfate degradation. A panel of 41 metabolite features was identified as candidate prognostic biomarkers. Notable putative identities of candidate prognostic biomarkers include ethanolamine, C20:4 anandamide phosphate, progesterone, various androgens (5-α-dihydrotestosterone, androsterone, etiocholanolone, and epiandrosterone), betaine aldehyde, inflammatory lipids (eicosapentaenoic acid, linoleic acid, and stearolic acid), and choline. Our exploratory data support metabolic reprogramming in early ADPKD and demonstrate the ability of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based global metabolomic profiling to detect metabolic pathway alterations as new therapeutic targets and biomarkers for early diagnosis and tracking disease progression of ADPKD.NEW & NOTEWORTHY To our knowledge, this study is the first to generate urinary global metabolomic profiles from individuals with early-stage ADPKD with preserved renal function for biomarker discovery. The exploratory dataset reveals metabolic pathway alterations that may be responsible for early cystogenesis and rapid disease progression and may be potential therapeutic targets and pathway sources for candidate biomarkers. From these results, we generated a panel of candidate diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of early-stage ADPKD for future validation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited disease of the kidney. It occurs in adulthood but is also rarely diagnosed in early childhood. The majority of the disease-causing variants observed in ADPKD patients are in two genes: PKD1 and PKD2. METHODS 237 patients from 198 families with a clinical diagnosis of ADPKD were screened for PKD1 and PKD2 genetic variants using Sanger sequencing and multiple ligation-dependent probe amplification analysis. RESULTS Disease-causing (diagnostic) variants were identified in 173 families (211 patients), 156 on PKD1 and 17 on PKD2. Variants of unknown significance were detected in 6 additional families, while no mutations were found in the remaining 19 families. Among the diagnostic variants detected, 51 were novel. In ten families, seven large rearrangements were found and the molecular breakpoints of 3 rearrangements were identified. Renal survival was significantly worse for PKD1-mutated patients, particularly those carrying truncating mutations. In patients with PKD1 truncating (PKD1-T) mutations, disease onset was significantly earlier than in patients with PKD1 non-truncating variants or PKD2-mutated patients. CONCLUSIONS Comprehensive genetic testing confirms its utility in diagnosing patients with ADPKD and contributes to explaining the clinical heterogeneity observed in this disease. Moreover, the genotype-phenotype correlation can allow for a more accurate disease prognosis.

Abstract
Cystic kidney disease comprises a broad group of heterogeneous diseases, which differ greatly in age at onset, disease manifestation, systemic involvement, disease progression, and long-term prognosis. As our understanding of these diseases continues to evolve and new treatment strategies continue to emerge, correctly differentiating and diagnosing these diseases becomes increasingly important. In this review, we aim to highlight the key features of the most relevant cystic kidney diseases, underscore important diagnostic characteristics of each disease, and present specific management options if applicable.

Abstract
Introduction Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common genetic cause of kidney failure. Because of the heterogeneity in disease progression in ADPKD, parameters predicting future outcome are important. The disease-causing genetic variant is one of these parameters. Methods A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based panel (MPP) was established for analysis of 6 polycystic kidney disease (PKD) genes (PKD1, PKD2, HNF1B, GANAB, DZIP1L, and PKHD1) in 441 patients with ADPKD. Selected patients were additionally sequenced using Sanger sequencing or a custom enrichment-based gene panel. Results were combined with clinical characteristics to assess the impact of genetic data on clinical decision-making. Variants of unclear significance (VUS) were considered diagnostic based on a classic ADPKD clinical phenotype. Results Using the MPP, disease-causing variants were detected in 65.3% of patients. Sanger sequencing and the custom gene panel in 32 patients who were MPP-negative revealed 20 variants missed by MPP, (estimated overall false negative rate 24.6%, false-positive rate 9.4%). Combining clinical and genetic data revealed that knowledge of the genotype could have impacted the treatment decision in 8.2% of patients with a molecular genetic diagnosis. Sequencing only the PKD1 pseudogene homologous region in MPP-negative patients resulted in an acceptable false-negative rate of 3.28%. Conclusion The MPP yields rapid genotype information at lower costs and allows for simple extension of the panel for new disease genes. Additional sequencing of the PKD1 pseudogene homologous region is required in negative cases. Access to genotype information even in settings with limited resources is important to allow for optimal patient counseling in ADPKD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is responsible for 5%-10% of end-stage renal disease. We examined the relationship between renal and extrarenal findings, disease severity, and the level of consciousness of PKD patients. METHODS Patients were asked to answer the questionnaire about PKD. Disease severity was determined according to estimated glomerular filtration rate, and disease awareness was assessed by adapting the Disease Perception Scale to PKD. Awareness of patients was evaluated comparatively with chronic kidney disease stage, age, region, and symptoms. RESULTS One out of five patients does not know that this disease is inherited. Mean awareness scores of the patients decreased significantly with increasing age. Awareness scores were significantly higher in patients with flank pain, hematuria, and urinary tract stones. CONCLUSION Although PKD is the most common hereditary kidney disease, the rate of patients' knowledge on this subject is low. Increased awareness might lead to better treatment in those patients.

Abstract
Background Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common renal monogenic disease, characterized by bilateral accumulation of renal fluid-filled cysts leading to progressive renal volume enlargement and gradual impairment of kidney function, often resulting in end-stage renal disease. Kuwait could provide valuable genetic insights about ADPKD, including intrafamilial phenotypic variation, given its large household size. This study aims to provide a comprehensive description of the pathogenic variants linked to ADPKD in the Kuwaiti population using multiple genetic analysis modalities and to describe and analyse the ADPKD phenotypic spectrum in terms of kidney function, kidney volume and renal survival. Methods A total of 126 ADPKD patients from 11 multiplex families and 25 singletons were recruited into the study. A combination of targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS), long-range polymerase chain reaction, Sanger sequencing and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification were utilized for genetic diagnosis. Clinical evaluation was conducted through renal function testing and ultrasonographic kidney volume analysis. Results We identified 29 ADPKD pathogenic mutations from 36 families achieving an overall molecular genetic diagnostic rate of 112/126 (88.9%), including 29/36 (80.6%) in families. A total of 28/36 (77.8%) families had pathogenic mutations in PKD1, of which 17/28 (60.7%) were truncating, and 1/36 (2.8%) had a pathogenic variant in the IFT140 gene. A total of 20/29 (69%) of the identified ADPKD mutations were novel and described for the first time, including a TSC2-PKD1 contiguous syndrome. Clinical analysis indicated that genetically unresolved ADPKD cases had no apparent association between kidney volume and age. Conclusion We describe for the first time the genetic landscape of ADPKD in Kuwait. The observed genetic heterogeneity underlining ADPKD along with the wide phenotypic spectrum reveal the level of complexity in disease pathophysiology. ADPKD genetic testing could improve the care of patients through improved disease prognostication, guided treatment and genetic counselling. However, to fulfil the potential of genetic testing, it is important to overcome the hurdle of genetically unresolved ADPKD cases.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited kidney disease. Although next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology can be used to sequence tens of thousands of DNA molecules simultaneously. It has poor capture efficiency for the six PKD1 pseudogenes and GC-rich regions. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) technology can detect consecutive deletions of exons, but it is less sensitive for single-base mutations. However, pathogenic genes might not be detected in some patients, even when using the above methods. Improving the detection rate of pathogenic genes is an important technical problem hindering clinical diagnosis of ADPKD. Four pedigrees of ADPKD patients with mutation sites not identified by NGS were examined by other methods. First, MLPA was performed. Then, pedigrees in which MLPA did not identify pathogenic genes were subjected to multiplex polymerase chain reaction (MPCR) and targeted region sequencing. Finally, the detected mutation sites were verified by Sanger sequencing. The results showed that MLPA detected the following PKD1 exonic deletion mutations in three pedigrees: PKD1-18 nt-290 nt, PKD1-up-257 nt, PKD1-up-444 nt and PKD1-3 nt-141 nt. A new mutation site was identified through targeted region sequencing in one pedigree: PKD1 NM_001009944: c.151T > C at the protein level, described as p. Cys51Arg. In summary, we established a system of genetic detection and analytical methods, from NGS to MLPA to targeted region sequencing and finally to Sanger sequencing. We combined MPCR and targeted region sequencing for the first time in ADPKD diagnosis, which further improved diagnosis accuracy. Moreover, we identified one new missense mutation and four new deletion mutations.

Abstract
Early detection and proper management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) can delay progression to end-stage kidney disease. We applied metabolomics to discover novel biomarkers to predict the risk of deterioration in patients with different causes of CKD. We enrolled non-dialytic diabetic nephropathy (DMN, n = 124), hypertensive nephropathy (HTN, n = 118), and polycystic kidney disease (PKD, n = 124) patients from the KNOW-CKD cohort. Within each disease subgroup, subjects were categorized as progressors (P) or non-progressors (NP) based on the median eGFR slope. P and NP pairs were randomly selected after matching for age, sex, and baseline eGFR. Targeted metabolomics was performed to quantify 188 metabolites in the baseline serum samples. We selected ten progression-related biomarkers for DMN and nine biomarkers each for HTN and PKD. Clinical parameters showed good ability to predict DMN (AUC 0.734); however, this tendency was not evident for HTN (AUC 0.659) or PKD (AUC 0.560). Models constructed with selected metabolites and clinical parameters had better ability to predict CKD progression than clinical parameters only. When selected metabolites were used in combination with clinical indicators, random forest prediction models for CKD progression were constructed with AUCs of 0.826, 0.872, and 0.834 for DMN, HTN, and PKD, respectively. Select novel metabolites identified in this study can help identify high-risk CKD patients who may benefit from more aggressive medical treatment.

Abstract
Background: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a condition usually caused by a single gene mutation and manifested by both renal and extrarenal features, eventually leading to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) by the median age of 60 years worldwide. Approximately 89% of ADPKD patients had either PKD1 or PKD2 gene mutations. The majority (85%) of the mutations are in the PKD1 gene, especially in the context of family history. Objectives: This study investigated the genetic basis and the undiscovered genes that are involved in ADPKD development among the Saudi population. Materials and Methods: In this study, 11 patients with chronic kidney disease were enrolled. The diagnosis of ADPKD was based on history and diagnostic images: CT images include enlargement of renal outlines, renal echogenicity, and presence of multiple renal cysts with dilated collecting ducts, loss of corticomedullary differentiation, and changes in GFR and serum creatinine levels. Next-generation whole-exome sequencing was conducted using the Ion Torrent PGM platform. Results: Of the 11 Saudi patients diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and ADPKD, the most common heterozygote nonsynonymous variant in the PKD1 gene was exon15: (c.4264G > A). Two missense mutations were identified with a PKD1 (c.1758A > C and c.9774T > G), and one patient had a PKD2 mutation (c.1445T > G). Three detected variants were novel, identified at PKD1 (c.1758A > C), PKD2L2 (c.1364A > T), and TSC2 (deletion of a’a at the 3’UTR, R1680C) genes. Other variants in PKD1L1 (c.3813_381 4delinsTG) and PKD1L2 (c.404C > T) were also detected. The median age of end-stage renal disease for ADPK patients in Saudi Arabia was 30 years. Conclusion: This study reported a common variant in the PKD1 gene in Saudi patients with typical ADPKD. We also reported (to our knowledge) for the first time two novel missense variants in PKD1 and PKD2L2 genes and one indel mutation at the 3’UTR of the TSC2 gene. This study establishes that the reported mutations in the affected genes resulted in ADPKD development in the Saudi population by a median age of 30. Nevertheless, future protein−protein interaction studies to investigate the influence of these mutations on PKD1 and PKD2 functions are required. Furthermore, large-scale population-based studies to verify these findings are recommended.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a genetic disorder, which is caused by mutations in the PKD1 and PKD2 genes, characterizing by progressive growth of multiple cysts in the kidneys, eventually leading to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and requiring renal replacement therapy. In addition, studies indicate that disease progression is as a result of a combination of factors. Understanding the molecular mechanisms, therefore, should facilitate the development of precise therapeutic strategies for ADPKD treatment. The roles of epigenetic modulation, interstitial inflammation, and regulated cell death have recently become the focuses in ADPKD. Different epigenetic regulators, and the presence of inflammatory markers detectable even before cyst growth, have been linked to cyst progression. Moreover, the infiltration of inflammatory cells, such as macrophages and T cells, have been associated with cyst growth and deteriorating renal function in humans and PKD animal models. There is evidence supporting a direct role of the PKD gene mutations to the regulation of epigenetic mechanisms and inflammatory response in ADPKD. In addition, the role of regulated cell death, including apoptosis, autophagy and ferroptosis, have been investigated in ADPKD. However, there is no consensus whether cell death promotes or delays cyst growth in ADPKD. It is therefore necessary to develop an interactive picture between PKD gene mutations, the epigenome, inflammation, and cell death to understand why inherited PKD gene mutations in patients may result in the dysregulation of these processes that increase the progression of renal cyst formation.

Abstract
Polycystin-2 (TRPP2, PKD2, PC2) is the product of the PKD2 gene, whose mutations cause Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD). PC2 belongs to the superfamily of TRP (Transient Receptor Potential) proteins that generally function as Ca2+-permeable nonselective cation channels implicated in Ca2+ signaling. PC2 localizes to various cell domains with distinct functions that likely depend on interactions with specific channel partners. Functions include receptor-operated, nonselective cation channel activity in the plasma membrane, intracellular Ca2+ release channel activity in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and mechanosensitive channel activity in the primary cilium of renal epithelial cells. Here we summarize our current understanding of the properties of PC2 and how other transmembrane and cytosolic proteins modulate this activity, providing functional diversity and selective regulatory mechanisms to its role in the control of cellular Ca2+ homeostasis.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most prevalent genetic diseases affecting the kidneys. A genetically specific mutation model is required to comprehend its pathophysiology and to develop a drug treatment. In this study, we successfully developed human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) named MUi027-A from skin fibroblasts of a patient diagnosed with ADPKD and carrying the PKD1 frameshift mutation (c.7946_7947delCT). MUi027-A cells showed the same genetic fingerprints as the parental cells, including the presence of the PKD1 mutation. MUi027-A hiPSCs displayed embryonic stem cell-like characteristics with the capability of differentiating into the three germ layers. Upon directed differentiation, MUi027-A hiPSCs could be differentiated into tubular organoids with the expression of renal cell markers. Furthermore, we compared the efficiency of cyst formation in two human iPSC lines with different PKD1 mutations. When cyst formation was induced by either forskolin or blebbistatin, MUi027-A hiPSC-derived kidney organoids displayed higher frequencies of cyst formation when compared to organoids generated from an iPSC cell line with non-truncating PKD1 mutation genotype (c.5878C > T), suggesting the presence of physiological differences in the mechanism of cyst formation between different PKD1 mutants. Overall, we generated and characterized a novel human iPSC line with a specific PKD mutation and demonstrated its potential as a disease model to study the pathophysiology of genetic determinants in the development of ADPKD disease.

Abstract
Monogenic forms of heritable kidney disease account for a significant proportion of chronic kidney disease (CKD) across both pediatric and adult patient populations and up to 11% of patients under 40 years reaching end-stage kidney failure (KF) and awaiting kidney transplant. Diagnostic genomics in the field of nephrology is ever evolving and now plays an important role in assessment and management of kidney transplant recipients and their related donor pairs. Genomic testing can help identify the cause of KF in kidney transplant recipients and assist in prognostication around graft survival and rate of recurrence of primary kidney disease. If a gene variant has been identified in the recipient, at-risk related donors can be assessed for the same and excluded if affected. This paper aims to address the indications for genomic testing in the context for kidney transplantation, the technologies available for testing, the conditions and groups in which testing should be most often considered, and the role for the renal genetics multidisciplinary team in this process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) has phenotypic variability only partially explained by established biomarkers that do not readily assess pathologically important factors of inflammation and kidney fibrosis. We evaluated asymptomatic pyuria (AP), a surrogate marker of inflammation, as a biomarker for disease progression. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of adult patients with ADPKD. Patients were divided into AP and no pyuria (NP) groups. We evaluated the effect of pyuria on kidney function and kidney volume. Longitudinal models evaluating kidney function and kidney volume rate of change with respect to incidences of AP were created. RESULTS There were 687 included patients (347 AP, 340 NP). The AP group had more women (65% versus 49%). Median ages at kidney failure were 86 and 80 years in the NP and AP groups (log rank, P=0.49), respectively, for patients in Mayo Imaging Class (MIC) 1A-1B as compared with 59 and 55 years for patients in MIC 1C-1D-1E (log rank, P=0.02), respectively. Compared with the NP group, the rate of kidney function (ml/min per 1.73 m2 per year) decline shifted significantly after detection of AP in the models, including all patients (-1.48; P<0.001), patients in MIC 1A-1B (-1.79; P<0.001), patients in MIC 1C-1D-1E (-1.18; P<0.001), and patients with PKD1 (-1.04; P<0.001). Models evaluating kidney volume rate of growth showed no change after incidence of AP as compared with the NP group. CONCLUSIONS AP is associated with kidney failure and faster kidney function decline irrespective of the ADPKD gene, cystic burden, and cystic growth. These results support AP as an enriching prognostic biomarker for the rate of disease progression.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited kidney disease, manifesting as the progressive development of fluid-filled renal cysts. In approximately half of all patients with ADPKD, end-stage renal disease results in decreased renal function. In this study, we used CRISPR-Cas9 and somatic cell cloning to produce pigs with the unique mutation c.152_153insG (PKD1insG/+). Pathological analysis of founder cloned animals and progeny revealed that PKD1insG/+ pigs developed many pathological conditions similar to those of patients with heterozygous mutations in PKD1. Pathological similarities included the formation of macroscopic renal cysts at the neonatal stage, number and cystogenic dynamics of the renal cysts formed, interstitial fibrosis of the renal tissue, and presence of a premature asymptomatic stage. Our findings demonstrate that PKD1insG/+ pigs recapitulate the characteristic symptoms of ADPKD.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is mainly caused by deficiency of polycystin-1 (PC1) or polycystin-2 (PC2). Altered autophagy has recently been implicated in ADPKD progression, but its exact regulation by PC1 and PC2 remains unclear. We therefore investigated cell death and survival during nutritional stress in mouse inner medullary collecting duct cells (mIMCDs), either wild-type (WT) or lacking PC1 (PC1KO) or PC2 (PC2KO), and human urine-derived proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTEC) from early-stage ADPKD patients with PC1 mutations versus healthy individuals. Basal autophagy was enhanced in PC1-deficient cells. Similarly, following starvation, autophagy was enhanced and cell death reduced when PC1 was reduced. Autophagy inhibition reduced cell death resistance in PC1KO mIMCDs to the WT level, implying that PC1 promotes autophagic cell survival. Although PC2 expression was increased in PC1KO mIMCDs, PC2 knockdown did not result in reduced autophagy. PC2KO mIMCDs displayed lower basal autophagy, but more autophagy and less cell death following chronic starvation. This could be reversed by overexpression of PC1 in PC2KO. Together, these findings indicate that PC1 levels are partially coupled to PC2 expression, and determine the transition from renal cell survival to death, leading to enhanced survival of ADPKD cells during nutritional stress.

Abstract
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is a heritable renal disease that results in end-stage kidney disease, due to the uncontrolled bilateral growth of cysts throughout the kidneys. While it is known that a mutation within a PKD-causing gene is required for the development of ADPKD, the underlying mechanism(s) causing cystogenesis and progression of the disease are not well understood. Limited therapeutic options are currently available to slow the rate of cystic growth. Epigenetic modifications, including DNA methylation, are known to be altered in neoplasia, and several FDA-approved therapeutics target these disease-specific changes. As there are many similarities between ADPKD and neoplasia, we (and others) have postulated that ADPKD kidneys contain alterations to their epigenetic landscape that could be exploited for future therapeutic discovery. Here we summarise the current understanding of epigenetic changes that are associated with ADPKD, with a particular focus on the burgeoning field of ADPKD-specific alterations in DNA methylation.

Abstract
Introduction Valid prediction models or predictors of disease progression in children and young patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) are lacking. Although total kidney volume (TKV) and Mayo imaging classification are generally used to predict disease progression in patients with ADPKD, it remains unclear whether germline mutation types are associated with these factors. We therefore investigated the association between mutation type and TKV and Mayo imaging classification among patients with ADPKD. Methods A total of 129 patients with ADPKD who underwent genetic analyses were enrolled in the study. The associations between the severity of PKD (TKV ≥ 1000 ml and Mayo classes 1C–1E) and the PKD1 mutation types (nonsense mutation, frameshift or splicing mutation, and substitution) were evaluated. Results Among the mutation types, only PKD1 splicing/frameshift mutation had significant associations with TKV ≥ 1000 ml in sex-adjusted and multivariable logistic analyses. Similarly, only the PKD1 splicing/frameshift mutation was significantly associated with Mayo 1C–1E in sex-adjusted and multivariable logistic analyses. PKD1 nonsense mutation, PKD1 substitution, or PKD1 mutation position had no significant association with TKV ≥ 1000 ml or Mayo 1C–1E. Conclusion Kidney cyst severity differs according to the mutation types in PKD1. Patients with PKD1 splicing mutations or PKD1 frameshift mutations are associated with TKV ≥ 1000 ml or Mayo 1C–1E. Detailed assessment of mutation types may be useful for predicting renal prognosis in patients with ADPKD and may especially contribute to the care of a high-risk group of children with ADPKD.

Abstract
Background Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited kidney disorder, accounting for approximately 5% of all ESRD cases worldwide. As a vasopressin receptor 2 antagonist, tolvaptan is the FDA-approved therapeutic agent for ADPKD, which is only made available to a limited number of adult patients; however, its efficacy in pediatric patients has not been reported widely. Summary Tolvaptan was shown to delay ADPKD progression in the Tolvaptan Efficacy and Safety in Management of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease and Its Outcomes (TEMPO) 3:4 study, Replicating Evidence of Preserved Renal Function: an Investigation of Tolvaptan Safety and Efficacy in ADPKD (REPRISE) trial, and other clinical studies. In addition to its effects on aquaretic adverse events and alanine aminotransferase elevation, the effect of tolvaptan on ADPKD is clear, sustained, and cumulative. While ADPKD is a progressive disease, the early intervention has been shown to be important and beneficial in hypotheses as well as in trials. The use of tolvaptan in pediatric ADPKD involves the following challenges: patient assessment, quality of life assessment, cost-effectiveness, safety, and tolerability. The ongoing, phase 3b, 2-part study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02964273) on the evaluation of tolvaptan in pediatric ADPKD (patients aged 12-17 years) may help obtain some insights. Key Messages This review focuses on the rationality of tolvaptan use in pediatric patients with ADPKD, the associated challenges, and the suggested therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease is an inherited multisystemic disorder of the renal tubules with subsequent formation of multiple cysts and enlargement of the kidney, affecting various organs. Diagnosis is initially suspected in those with family history and/or individuals who develop hypertension early on (secondary hypertension) or certain symptoms. Renal function is initially preserved for years secondary to compensatory mechanisms. Associated conditions include: liver cysts, berry aneurysms, kidney stones, etc. The disease course is variable, but patients often progress to end-stage renal failure by age 60. There is no known cure, however, risk factor modification at early stages is critical. Renal transplant is the optimal treatment in ESRD.

Abstract
PKD2 gene variants account for 4.5% to 20% of patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Little is known about the clinical characteristics of PKD2 variants in Chinese patients with ADPKD. Herein, we performed a comprehensive search for variants of PKD2 gene in 44 Chinese ADPKD pedigrees and a total of 37 variants were identified. Of these 37 variants, 18 were nonsense variants, 10 frameshift variants, 4 missense variants, and 5 splice site variants. 11/37 variants were detected for the first time. The median age at diagnosis was 30.5 years, and positive family history was detected in 77.27% patients, liver cysts in 68.18%, hypertension in 45.45%, nephrolithiasis in 31.82%, macro-hematuria in 22.73%, and proteinuria in 13.63%. The level of estimated glomerular filtration rate in 8/39 patients were blow 60 ml/min/1.73m2 . 11/17 patients were classified as rapid progression by Mayo Clinic classification. The end stage renal disease (ESRD) events were reported in 9/22 pedigrees, and the presence of nephrolithiasis and macro-hematuria were significantly associated with ESRD in the pedigrees with PKD2 variants. The identified variants and clinical features will facilitate the early diagnosis and prognosis prediction in Chinese ADPKD patients with PKD2 variants.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary kidney disease. It is characterized by cyst growth in the kidneys, resulting in kidney enlargement and end-stage kidney disease. The polycystic kidney disease 1 (PKD1) and PKD2 have been identified as genes related to ADPKD and their significance in the molecular pathology of the disease has been studied. A disease-modifying drug has been approved; therefore, it has become important to identify patients at a high risk of kidney disease progression. Genetic tests, image analysis methods, and clinical factors for kidney disease progression prediction have been established. This review describes genetic and clinical characteristics, and discusses ongoing studies in Korean ADPKD patients.

Abstract
Background Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most frequent genetic kidney disease and polycystic liver disease is its major extrarenal manifestation, however biliary peritonitis due to a liver cyst rupture is extremely rare. Case presentation The patient was a 71-year-old Japanese woman who was diagnosed with ADPKD 3 years previously and developed right abdominal pain suddenly 1 month previously. As abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed a ruptured liver cyst in the right lobe, she was admitted to our hospital. Her symptoms improved with conservative management and she was discharged from the hospital after 1 week. Although she was asymptomatic for a while, she noticed abdominal distension and general malaise at 1 month after hospital discharge. Since abdominal CT showed massive ascites, she was admitted to our hospital again. A physical examination revealed abdominal distention without tenderness. Her serum creatinine, alkaline phosphatase, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, total bilirubin, and CA19-9 were elevated. Abdominal paracentesis revealed amber transparent ascites and the bilirubin and CA19-9 concentrations were high. She was diagnosed with biliary peritonitis due to a ruptured liver cyst. Hemodialysis treatment was initiated with drainage of the ascites. The outflow of the ascites was no tendency to decrease and drip infusion cholangiography (DIC)-CT revealed a communication between the ruptured cyst and an intrahepatic bile duct. On day 31, she was transferred to a university hospital and abdominal surgery was performed. After removing the necrotic roof of the ruptured cyst on the right liver lobe, the orifice of the bile leakage was sutured. Cholecystectomy was performed and cholangiography showed no stones in the common bile duct. Abdominal CT one month after the operation showed no recurrence of ascites and she was discharged on day 49. Hemodialysis treatment was discontinued immediately after discharge because urine volume increased and her creatinine level decreased. There has been no recurrence of ascites since then.
Conclusions While rare, biliary peritonitis can occur in association with the rupture of a liver cyst in ADPKD patients due to communication between the cyst and the intrahepatic bile duct, and DIC-CT should be recommended when biliary cyst rupture is suspected.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disorders are the main complication in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). contributing to both morbidity and mortality. This review considers clinical studies unveiling cardiovascular features in patients with ADPKD. Additionally, it focuses on basic science studies addressing the dysfunction of the polycystin proteins located in the cardiovascular system as a contributing factor to cardiovascular abnormalities. In particular, the effects of polycystin proteins’ deficiency on the cardiomyocyte function have been considered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Progression of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is highly variable. On average, protein-truncating PKD1 mutations are associated with the most severe kidney disease among all mutation classes. Here, we report that patients with protein-truncating PKD1 mutations may also have mild kidney disease, a finding not previously well recognized. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS From the extended Toronto Genetic Epidemiologic Study of Polycystic Kidney Disease, 487 patients had PKD1 and PKD2 sequencing and typical ADPKD imaging patterns by magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography. Mayo Clinic Imaging Classification on the basis of age- and height-adjusted total kidney volume was used to assess their cystic disease severity; classes 1A or 1B were used as a proxy to define mild disease. Multivariable linear regression was performed to test the effects of age, sex, and mutation classes on log-transformed height-adjusted total kidney volume and eGFR. RESULTS Among 174 study patients with typical imaging patterns and protein-truncating PKD1 mutations, 32 (18%) were found to have mild disease on the basis of imaging results (i.e., Mayo Clinic Imaging class 1A-1B), with their mutations spanning the entire gene. By multivariable analyses of age, sex, and mutation class, they displayed mild disease similar to patients with PKD2 mutations and Mayo Clinic Imaging class 1A-1B. Most of these mildly affected patients with protein-truncating PKD1 mutations reported a positive family history of ADPKD in preceding generations and displayed significant intrafamilial disease variability. CONCLUSIONS Despite having the most severe mutation class, 18% of patients with protein-truncating PKD1 mutations had mild disease on the basis of clinical and imaging assessment.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited cause of kidney failure, accounting for 5%-10% of cases. Predicting which patients with ADPKD will progress rapidly to kidney failure is critical to assess the risk-benefit ratio of any intervention and to consider early initiation of long-term kidney protective measures that will maximize the cumulative benefit of slowing disease progression. Surrogate prognostic biomarkers are required to predict future decline in kidney function. Clinical, genetic, environmental, epigenetic, and radiologic factors have been studied as predictors of progression to kidney failure in ADPKD. A complex interaction of these prognostic factors determines the number of kidney cysts and their growth rates, which affect total kidney volume (TKV). Age-adjusted TKV, represented by the Mayo imaging classification, estimates each patient's unique rate of kidney growth and provides the most individualized approach available clinically so far. Tolvaptan has been approved to slow disease progression in patients at risk of rapidly progressive disease. Several other disease-modifying treatments are being studied in clinical trials. Selection criteria for patients at risk of rapid progression vary widely among countries and are based on a combination of age, baseline glomerular filtration rate (GFR), GFR slope, baseline TKV, and TKV rate of growth. This review details the approach in assessing the risk of disease progression in ADPKD and identifying patients who would benefit from long-term therapy with disease-modifying agents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Predicting disease progression in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) poses a challenge, especially in early-stage disease when kidney function is not yet affected. Ongoing growth of cysts causes maximal urine-concentrating capacity to decrease from early on. We therefore hypothesized that the urine-to-plasma urea ratio, as a reflection of the urine-concentrating capacity, can be used as a marker to predict ADPKD progression. DESIGN The urine-to-plasma urea ratio was calculated by dividing concentrations of early morning fasting spot urine urea by plasma urea. First, this ratio was validated as surrogate marker in 30 patients with ADPKD who underwent a prolonged water deprivation test. Thereafter, association with kidney outcome was evaluated in 583 patients with ADPKD with a broad range of kidney function. Multivariable mixed-model regression was used to assess association with eGFR slope, and logarithmic regression to identify patients with rapidly progressive disease, using a cutoff of -3.0 ml/min per 1.73 m2 per year. The urine-to-plasma urea ratio was compared with established predictors, namely, sex, age, baseline eGFR, Mayo Clinic height-adjusted total kidney volume class, and PKD gene mutation. RESULTS The maximal urine-concentrating capacity and urine-to-plasma urea ratio correlated strongly (R=0.90; P<0.001). Next, the urine-to-plasma urea ratio was significantly associated with rate of eGFR decline during a median follow-up of 4.0 (interquartile range, 2.6-5.0) years, both crude and after correction for established predictors (β=0.58; P=0.02). The odds ratio of rapidly progressive disease was 1.35 (95% confidence interval, 1.19 to 1.52; P<0.001) for every 10 units decrease in urine-to-plasma urea ratio, with adjustment for predictors. A combined risk score of the urine-to-plasma urea ratio, Mayo Clinic height-adjusted total kidney volume class, and PKD mutation predicted rapidly progressive disease better than each of the predictors separately. CONCLUSIONS The urine-to-plasma urea ratio, which is calculated from routine laboratory measurements, predicts disease progression in ADPKD in addition to other risk markers.

Abstract
Polycystic kidney disease with Tuberous sclerosis is a disease caused by the deletions of the TSC2-PKD1 gene. The disease is rarely reported and the characterized manifestation is severe polycystic kidney growth. The diagnosis can be made by molecular analysis. We report the first case of PKDTS discovered in infancy in China with typical neurological and renal manifestations. The patient has infantile spasm, polycystic kidney, skin damage, hypertension, and hematuria after infection. After effective treatment of Rapamycin, the seizures were completely controlled. There was not been any renal function damage in the patient. At the same time, we review the related literature and further elaborate on the variety of clinical manifestations, treatment, and prognosis.

Abstract
ADPKD is the most common genetic disease of the kidney leading to end-stage renal disease necessitating renal replacement therapy at any time between the 1st and 8th decades of life due to widely variable rates of disease progression. This presents significant patient anxiety and a significant prognostic and therapeutic challenge. Tolvaptan is the only approved drug licensed to slow ADPKD progression by reducing renal cystic expansion but side-effects can limit its efficacy. To address the need to identify new biomarkers to monitor progression of ADPKD and to evaluate the therapeutic effects of Tolvaptan, proteomic analysis was conducted on defined (40-100nm) urinary exosomes isolated from ADPKD patients phenotyped and clinically monitored over a 10-year period. Comparative Gene Ontology analysis of Tandem Mass Tag labelled mass spectrometry-derived protein profiles from urinary exosomes from ADPKD patients with rapid (>10ml/min/5 years decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate) versus slow progression showed distinctive patterns of pathway up-regulation. Clear discrimination between rapid and slowly-progressive profiles were seen in all stages functional decline in ADPKD patients whether with mild (>70ml/min), moderate (50-69ml/min) or severe (<49ml/min) disease at onset. Discriminatory pathways and proteins included Notch-, integrin- and growth factor-signalling; microtubular kinase, vesicular proteins and epidermal growth factor substrates. Confocal microscopy of fluorescently-labelled normal versus ADPKD epithelial cell-derived exosomes in vitro also identified ADPKD-dependent abnormalities in intracellular vesicular trafficking and implicated changes in ADPKD-dependent exosome secretion and target cell uptake as factors underlying urinary exosome excretion biomarker properties. Comparative proteomic analysis of urinary exosomal proteins in individual patients before and after treatment with Tolvaptan for 4 years also identified distinct patterns of pathway modification dependent on the degree of effectiveness of the therapeutic response. Up-regulation of Wnt-pathway and vesicular proteins were characteristic of urinary exosomes from ADPKD patients with good responses to Tolvaptan while upregulation of angiogenesis pathways and additional molecular forms of vasopressin receptor AVPR2 were characteristic in urinary exosomes of ADPKD patients with poor responses. Taken together, these studies conclude that proteomic profiling of urinary exosome biomarkers provides a specific, sensitive and practical non-invasive method to identify and monitor the rate of disease progression and the effects of Tolvaptan therapy in individual ADPKD patients. This provides a means to identify those patients most likely to benefit maximally from therapy and to progress towards a personalization of ADPKD prognosis and management.

Abstract
Introduction Cystic expansion damaging the parenchyma is thought to lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Here we characterized genotypic and phenotypic attributes of ADPKD at time of ESKD. Methods This is a retrospective cross-sectional study of patients with ADPKD with ESKD evaluated at Mayo Clinic with available abdominal computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Kidney volumes were measured (total kidney volume adjusted for height [HtTKV]), Mayo Image Class (MIC) calculated, ADPKD genotype determined, and clinical and laboratory features obtained from medical records. Results Differences in HtTKV at ESKD were associated with patient age and sex; older patients and women had smaller HtTKV at ESKD. HtTKV at ESKD was observed to be 12.3% smaller with each decade of age (P < 0.01); but significant only in women (17.8%, P < 0.01; men 6.9%, P = 0.06). Patients with onset of ESKD at <47, 47–61, or >61 years had different characteristics, with a shift from youngest to oldest in male to female enrichment, MIC from 1D/1E to 1B/1C, likely fully penetrant PKD1 mutations from 95% to 42%, and presence of macrovascular disease from 8% to 40%. Macrovascular disease was associated with smaller kidneys in female patients. Conclusion HtTKV at ESKD was smaller with advancing age in patients with ADPKD, particularly in women. These novel findings provide insight into possible underlying mechanisms leading to ESKD, which differ between younger and older individuals. Cystic growth is the predominant mechanism in younger patients with ESKD, whereas aging-related factors, including vascular disease, becomes potentially important as patients age.

BACKGROUND Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an inherited disorder caused by mutations in the polycystic kidney disease (PKD) gene. Although tolvaptan has benefits for renal involvement, the different effects depending on the gene mutation type are unknown. Thus, we explore the different effects of tolvaptan on the annual changes in total kidney volume (%TKV) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) according to the gene mutation type in ADPKD patients. METHODS In total, 135 ADPKD patients were screened, and 22 patients taking tolvaptan for at least a year were retrospectively studied at the Kurume University Hospital. We examined the decline in renal function and %TKV by computed tomography and analyzed the gene mutation. Patients were classified into the following four groups according to gene mutation type: PKD1-truncated, PKD1-non-truncated, PKD2, and mutation not found. Patients were treated with tolvaptan, and the effects of tolvaptan were analyzed according to the gene mutation type. RESULTS Patients (age: 52.3 ± 11.2 years) were administered tolvaptan at a dose of 45 or 60 mg. No variation was observed in the annual changes in eGFR (%eGFR) (before: - 10.5% ± 13.9%, after: - 14.4% ± 8.1%, P = 0.139), whereas %TKV was significantly improved after the tolvaptan treatment (before: 14.9% ± 8.0%, after: - 5.4% ± 7.6%, P < 0.001). Unlike %eGFR, tolvaptan treatment significantly improved %TKV, regardless of the type of gene mutation. CONCLUSIONS A year treatment with tolvaptan significantly improved %TKV in patients with ADPKD, regardless of the gene mutation type.

Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) occurs when an epicardial coronary artery is narrowed or occluded by an intramural hematoma. SCAD mainly affects women and is associated with pregnancy and systemic arteriopathies, particularly fibromuscular dysplasia. Variants in several genes, such as those causing connective tissue disorders, have been implicated; however, the genetic architecture is poorly understood. Here, we aim to better understand the diagnostic yield of rare variant genetic testing among a cohort of SCAD survivors and to identify genes or gene sets that have a significant enrichment of rare variants.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 15% of the US adult population. However, most clinically available drugs for CKD show low bioavailability to the kidneys and non-specific uptake by other organs which results in adverse side effects. Hence, a targeted, drug delivery strategy to enhance kidney drug delivery is highly desired. Recently, our group developed small, organic nanoparticles called peptide amphiphile micelles (PAM) functionalized with the zwitterionic peptide ligand, (KKEEE)3K, that passage through the glomerular filtration barrier for kidney accumulation. Despite high bioavailability to the kidneys, these micelles also accumulated in the liver to a similar extent. To further optimize the physicochemical properties and develop design rules for kidney-targeting micelles, we synthesized a library of PAMs of varying size, charge, and peptide repeats. Specifically, variations of the original (KKEEE)3K peptide including (KKEEE)2K, (KKEEE)K, (EEKKK)3E, (EEKKK)2E, (EEKKK)E, KKKKK, and EEEEE were functionalized onto nanoparticles, and peptide surface density and PEG linker molecular weight were altered. After characterization with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS), nanoparticles were intravenously administered into wildtype mice, and biodistribution was assessed through ex vivo imaging. All micelles localized to the kidneys, but nanoparticles that are positively-charged, close to the renal filtration size cut-off, and consisted of additional zwitterionic peptide sequences generally showed higher renal accumulation. Upon immunohistochemistry, micelles were confirmed to bind to the multiligand receptor, megalin, and histological analyses showed no tissue damage. Our study provides insight into the design of micelle carriers for kidney targeting and their potential for future therapeutic application.

Abstract
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is characterized by progressive cyst growth and is a leading cause of renal failure worldwide. Currently, there are limited therapeutic options available to PKD patients, and only one drug, tolvaptan, has been FDA-approved to slow cyst progression. Similar to other small molecule drugs, however, tolvaptan is costly, only moderately effective, and causes adverse events leading to high patient dropout rates. Peptides may mitigate many drawbacks of small molecule drugs, as they can be highly tissue-specific, biocompatible, and economically scaled-up. Peptides can function as targeting ligands that direct therapies to diseased renal tissue, or be potent as therapeutic agents themselves. This review discusses various aberrant signaling pathways in PKD and renal receptors that can be potential targets of peptide-mediated strategies. Additionally, peptides utilized in other kidney applications, but may prove useful in the context of PKD, are highlighted. Insights into novel peptide-based solutions that have potential to improve clinical management of PKD are provided.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common genetic kidney disease. Identifying mutated causative genes can provide diagnostic and prognostic information. In this study, we describe the clinical application of a next generation sequencing (NGS)-based, targeted multi-gene panel test for the genetic diagnosis of patients with ADPKD. METHODS We applied genetic analysis on 26 unrelated known or suspected patients with ADPKD. A total of 10 genes related to cystic change of kidney were targeted. Detected variants were classified according to standard guidelines. RESULTS We identified 19 variants (detection rate: 73.1%), including PKD1 (n = 18) and PKD2 (n = 1). Of the 18 PKD1 variants, 8 were novel. CONCLUSION Multigene panel test can be a comprehensive tool in a clinical setting for genetic diagnosis of ADPKD. It allows us to identify clinically significant novel variants and confirm the diagnosis, and these objectives are difficult to achieve using conventional diagnostic tools.
