Özet

Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) is the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease in children. Until now, more than 50 monogenic causes for CAKUT have been described, all of which only explain 10% to 20% of all patients with CAKUT, suggesting the presence of additional genes that cause CAKUT when mutated. Herein, we report two siblings of a consanguineous family with CAKUT, both of which rapidly progressed to chronic kidney disease in early childhood. Whole-exome sequencing followed by homozygosity mapping identified a homozygous variation inHOXA11.We therefore showed for the first time an association between a homozygousHOXA11variation with CAKUT in humans, expanding the genetic spectrum of the disease.
