Because the prognosis is grim, with death occurring in utero or shortly after birth, prenatal diagnosis has led to therapeutic abortion of many affected fetuses. The mortality rate is 100%, with most fetuses surviving only a few days to weeks. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology
Etiology Two genes have been linked to the disease: MCKD1 (1q21) is associated with end-stage renal disease at the mean age of 62 years, and MCKD2 (in 16p12, where the gene UMOD, encoding uromodulin or Tamm-Horsfall protein, has been identified as responsible [orpha.net]
