Clinical Information

Hereditary forms of cystic kidney disease have several underlying genetic etiologies and may present in childhood or adulthood, with or without extrarenal features. The two most common categories of hereditary cystic kidney disease are the ciliopathic disorders and the phakomatoses.(1)

 

Ciliopathic disorders causing cystic kidney disease include polycystic kidney disease (PKD), nephronophthisis (NPHP), and medullary cystic kidney disease (MCKD). The PKD1 and PKD2 genes cause the majority of autosomal dominant PKD (ADPKD), while the GANAB and DNAJB11 genes are implicated in a minority of cases.(2,3) The PKHD1 gene is the major gene associated with autosomal recessive PKD (ARPKD), while DZIP1L has been more recently identified as a secondary cause.(4) ARPKD is often diagnosed in utero due to oligohydramnios. NPHP is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by cystic kidney disease, inflammation, fibrosis, and progression to kidney failure. MCKD is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by cysts in the medullary region of the kidney, kidney tubule fibrosis, hyperuricemia, and slowly worsening kidney function. Genes included on this panel for MCKD include HNF1B, UMOD, and SEC61A1 (note the MUC1 gene is not included on this panel).

 

Phakomatoses, also known as neurocutaneous syndromes, are a broad group of hereditary disorders characterized by involvement of structures that arise from the embryonic ectoderm (central nervous system, skin, and eyes). Cystic renal lesions are common in these disorders. Phakomatoses genes included on this panel are the TSC1 and TSC2 tumor suppressor genes associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and the VHL gene associated with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome.

Reference Values

An interpretive report will be provided.

Interpretation

All detected variants are evaluated according to American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics recommendations.(5) Variants are classified based on known, predicted, or possible pathogenicity and reported with interpretive comments detailing their potential or known significance.

Method Description

Capture-based and amplicon-based next-generation sequencing (NGS is performed to test for the presence of variants in coding regions and intron/exon boundaries of the genes analyzed, as well as some other regions that have known disease-causing variants. The human genome reference GRCh37/hg19 build was used for sequence read alignment. At least 99% of the bases are covered at a read depth over 30X. Sensitivity is estimated at above 99% for single nucleotide variants, above 94% for deletions-insertions (delins) less than 40 base pairs (bp), above 95% for deletions up to 75 bp and insertions up to 47 bp. NGS and/or a polymerase chain reaction based quantitative method is performed to test for the presence of deletions and duplications in the genes analyzed.

 

There may be regions of genes that cannot be effectively evaluated by sequencing or deletion and duplication analysis as a result of technical limitations of the assay, including regions of homology, high guanine-cytosine (GC) content, and repetitive sequences. See Targeted Genes and Methodology Details for Cystic Kidney Disease Gene Panel for details regarding the targeted genes analyzed for each test and specific gene regions not routinely covered.(Unpublished Mayo method)

 

Confirmation of select reportable variants may be performed by alternate methodologies based on internal laboratory criteria.
