Nephronophthisis 12

There was no other remarkable change in his life until his presentation to our department. [academic.oup.com]

Presentation History A family history of consanguinity, early death, or renal disease is present in 67% of patients with nephronophthisis (NPH). [emedicine.medscape.com]

Presentation This results from gradual tubular injury. [ 1 ] Clinical features Polyuria - decreased concentrating ability with loss of sodium. Polydipsia. Growth retardation. Secondary enuresis. Renal impairment. [patient.info]

The phenotypic presentation ranged from a Potter-like syndrome to hyperechogenic kidneys, renal insufficiency, hypertension, and hyperkalemia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Turkish

    In a Turkish patient with isolated NPHP7, Halbritter et al. (2013) identified a homozygous mutation in the GLIS2 gene (C175R; 608539.0002). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Abnormal Breathing

    JS is an autosomal recessive neurological disorder that associates congenital hypotonia evolving into cerebellar ataxia, developmental delay, oculomotor apraxia, and abnormal breathing pattern during the first month of life. [doi.org]

  • Respiratory Abnormalities

    The son was delivered normally without any respiratory abnormality, and from his first months of life had pendular nystagmus. [academic.oup.com]

  • Mild Clinical Course

    If one accepts that our patients suffered from this condition with delayed onset, the relatively mild clinical course might possibly point to an environmental factor playing a beneficial role in delaying the progression to end‐stage renal disease. [academic.oup.com]

  • Liver Dysfunction

    Liver enzymology, CT, and MRI of the upper abdomen gave no evidence of liver dysfunction. The ophthalmologic examination showed nystagmus, difficulty in nocturnal vision with severe visual impairment (1/10 of normal vision). [academic.oup.com]

    Liver dysfunction has been reported in some patients but it is uncertain if this is coincidental or a part of the SLNS disorder. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

  • Flexion Contracture

    The fetus had dysmorphic features consistent with Potter facies and flexion contractures of multiple joints. There was complete situs inversus of the thoracic and abdominal organs. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Pendular Nystagmus

    The son was delivered normally without any respiratory abnormality, and from his first months of life had pendular nystagmus. [academic.oup.com]

    Ocular examination revealed enophthalmos OU, poor light perception, intraocular pressure of 15 mmHg, sluggish direct and consensual pupillary responses, photophobia, and pendular nystagmus. [healio.com]

Genetic analysis is highly indicated in order to identify causative mutations, assist with further syndromatic workup and help with prognosis. [renalandurologynews.com]

Etiology Five genes associated with the disease have been identified. The first gene, NPHP1, has been mapped to chromosome 2q13. [orpha.net]

However, it is not clear whether the primary etiology of NPHP is due to abnormal cell polarity or cilia dysfunction. [doi.org]
