Renal tubular dysgenesis of genetic origin

MedGen UID:
1826125
Concept ID:
C5681536
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: Renal Tubular Dysgenesis, ACE-Related; Renal Tubular Dysgenesis, AGT-Related; Renal Tubular Dysgenesis, AGTR1-Related; Renal Tubular Dysgenesis, REN-Related
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal recessive inheritance
MedGen UID:
141025
Concept ID:
C0441748
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele).
 
Genes (locations): ACE (17q23.3); AGT (1q42.2); AGTR1 (3q24); REN (1q32.1)

Definition

An instance of renal tubular dysgenesis that is caused by a modification of the individual's genome. [from MONDO]

Clinical features

From HPO
Anuria
MedGen UID:
358
Concept ID:
C0003460
Disease or Syndrome
Absence of urine, clinically classified as below 50ml/day.
Renal tubular dysgenesis
MedGen UID:
82738
Concept ID:
C0266313
Disease or Syndrome
Renal tubular dysgenesis is a severe kidney disorder characterized by abnormal development of the kidneys before birth. In particular, kidney structures called proximal tubules are absent or underdeveloped. These structures help to reabsorb needed nutrients, water, and other materials into the blood and excrete everything else into the urine. Without functional proximal tubules, the kidneys cannot produce urine (a condition called anuria).\n\nFetal urine is the major component of the fluid that surrounds the fetus (amniotic fluid), and anuria leads to decreased amniotic fluid levels (oligohydramnios). Amniotic fluid helps cushion and protect the fetus and plays a role in the development of many organs, including the lungs. Oligohydramnios causes a set of abnormalities called the Potter sequence, which includes distinctive facial features such as a flattened nose and large, low-set ears; excess skin; inward- and upward-turning feet (clubfeet); and underdeveloped lungs.\n\nRenal tubular dysgenesis also causes severe low blood pressure (hypotension). In addition, bone development in the skull is abnormal in some affected individuals, causing a large space between the bones of the skull (fontanelles).\n\nAs a result of the serious health problems caused by renal tubular dysgenesis, affected individuals usually die before birth, are stillborn, or die soon after birth from respiratory failure. Rarely, with treatment, affected individuals survive into childhood. Their blood pressure usually normalizes, but they quickly develop chronic kidney disease, which is characterized by reduced kidney function that worsens over time.
Abnormality of the urinary system
MedGen UID:
867444
Concept ID:
C4021821
Disease or Syndrome
An abnormality of the urinary system.
Hypotension
MedGen UID:
5715
Concept ID:
C0020649
Finding
Low Blood Pressure, vascular hypotension.
Widely patent fontanelles and sutures
MedGen UID:
336570
Concept ID:
C1849300
Finding
An abnormally increased width of the cranial fontanelles and sutures.
Microcephaly
MedGen UID:
1644158
Concept ID:
C4551563
Finding
Head circumference below 2 standard deviations below the mean for age and gender.
Respiratory insufficiency
MedGen UID:
11197
Concept ID:
C0035229
Pathologic Function
Impairment of gas exchange within the lungs secondary to a disease process, neoplasm, or trauma, possibly resulting in hypoxia, hypercarbia, or both, but not requiring intubation or mechanical ventilation. Patients are normally managed with pharmaceutical therapy, supplemental oxygen, or both.
Pulmonary hypoplasia
MedGen UID:
78574
Concept ID:
C0265783
Congenital Abnormality
A congenital abnormality in which the lung parenchyma is not fully developed. It may be associated with other congenital abnormalities.
Potter facies
MedGen UID:
78614
Concept ID:
C0266619
Congenital Abnormality
A facial appearance characteristic of a fetus or neonate due to oligohydramnios experienced in the womb, comprising ocular hypertelorism, low-set ears, receding chin, and flattening of the nose.
Oligohydramnios
MedGen UID:
86974
Concept ID:
C0079924
Pathologic Function
Diminished amniotic fluid volume in pregnancy.
