A homozygous NPHP1 deletion not only led to juvenile nephronophthisis but also was able to present as a predominantly neurologic phenotype. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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]

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

The treatment reduced cyst enlargement, and the early treatment inhibited development of renal fibrosis. Although the effect of later treatment was more modest, both stages of the disease responded positively to treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In this review, we discuss the identified causative mutations that give rise to nephronophthisis and how these are related to the disease etiology in both the kidney and other organs. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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. [dx.doi.org]

[…] recessive and patients develop end-stage renal failure (ESRF) by adolescence. [ 1, 2 ] The protein products, named nephrocystins, which become abnormal in this disorder, have primarily a function in cilial structures (making it a ' ciliopathy '). [ 3 ] Epidemiology [patient.info]

Epidemiology: 10% of children with end-stage renal disease are suffering from nephronophthisis Nephronophthisis is the most common form of inherited renal failure before the age of 30 years. [urology-textbook.com]

Summary Epidemiology Prevalence is 1/100 000 individuals. Clinical description The disease is both clinically and genetically heterogeneous. Three main clinical forms have been described. [orpha.net]

All diseases mentioned above ground on the same pathophysiological mechanism: the genes causing renal cysts encode for proteins in the primary cilium, a cellular antennae like organelle projecting from the cell surface of most cells. [neocyst.de]

Because of similarities in the pathophysiology of multiple myeloma and Waldenstrom's macroglobulinaemia (WM), we investigated DNA samples from 20 bone marrow biopsies with WM for the detection of KSHV by PCR (KS330/ ORF26 ) [4]. [wikigenes.org]

"Mutations in NPHP genes prevent cilia from functioning properly, causing damage that leads to kidney disease." These important sensors aren't confined to the kidneys, however. [sciencedaily.com]

Currently, there are no specific methods or guidelines to prevent the Adolescent Nephronophthisis, since it is a genetic condition Genetic testing of the expecting parents (and related family members) and prenatal diagnosis (molecular testing of the fetus [dovemed.com]

The electrolyte loss prevents hypertension. End-stage renal disease occurs 5–10 years after onset of symptoms. Infantile nephronophthisis Infantile nephronophthisis leads to end-stage renal disease before the age of 5 years. [urology-textbook.com]
