Identification of an NPHP1 deletion causing adult form of nephronophthisis
2016
Aims
Nephronophthisis (NPHP) is an autosomal recessive cystic disease of the kidney with main characteristic features of polyuria/polydipsia, mild or absent proteinuria, interstitial fibrosis, and tubular cysts. NPHP is responsible for 5–10 % of inheritable end-stage renal disease (ESRD) cases. We investigated the clinical features and genetic cause of NPHP in a Persian family with three siblings affected by tubulointerstitial nephropathy reaching ESRD in adulthood.
