Cystic kidney disease v8.15 TMEM17 Ida Ertmanska Added comment: Comment on list classification: There are at least 9 unrelated individuals (3 surviving individuals and 6 fetal cases) reported with biallelic TMEM17 variants and evidence of a multisystem ciliopathy (molar tooth sign, features supporting a diagnosis of Meckel syndrome, Joubert syndrome). More than 3 unrelated individuals had polycystic kidneys, as well as other renal findings. Hence, this gene should be promoted to Green at the next update.

Case of a child with asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy (ATD) syndrome and infantile-onset diabetes who had a homozygous frameshift variant in the PDIA6 gene (NM_001282704.1:c.703del (p.Val235fs)) which is in exon 8 (of 15). The parents and unaffected sibling were heterozygous for this variant. The authors state that PDIA6 is not known yet to be involved in the formation or function of the primary cilia but suggest that it could be directly or indirectly interacting or required for proper protein folding of known or unknown ciliopathy protein.

Mouse model carrying a missense mutation (Phe175Ser) in PDIA6. Homozygous mice were mildly hyperglycemic at weaning and subsequently became hypoinsulinemic and overtly diabetic at the adult stage, due to loss of pancreatic β-cell function and identity.
PMID: 39044457 Kim et al., 2024
Study involved Pdia6 knockout mice with in a 58 bp deletion in exon 3, and a frameshift mutation in exon 4 Downregulating PDIA6 leads to cilia removal, makes cells more sensitive to ferroptotic death caused by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. The reduction of PDIA6 intensifies the ER stress response, while also impairing the regulation of primary cilia in various cell types. Pdia6+/− mice displayed glomerular abnormalities that are suggestive of glomerulosclerosis

Added comment: PMID: 41308066 Claus et al., 2025
Study identified biallelic TMEM72 variants in 9 patients from six families with a phenotype suggestive of nephronophthisis. Five families presented with kidney failure at 21-41years. Kidney ultrasound showed small-to-normal-sized kidneys, increased echogenicity and loss of corticomedullary differentiation. One patient (Family F) had a different phenotype with prenatal onset of kidney failure, as well as epilepsy and intra-uterine oligohydramnios; she died at age 2 years.
Patients in families A-E were homozygous for frameshift/truncating TMEM72 variants, while proband in family F was homozygous for a missense variant c.370G>A p.(Gly124Ser).
Functional evidence: in human-derived tubuloids, authors showed that TMEM72 localizes to the cilium; affinity proteomics approach showed an association of TMEM72 ciliary function in selective ciliary cholesterol transport.

TMEM72 has not yet been associated with disease in OMIM or Gene2Phenotype (accessed 9th March 2026).

Cystic kidney disease v8.2 CYP24A1 Eleanor Williams changed review comment from: The OMIM entry for this gene disease association Hypercalcemia, infantile, 1, OMIM:143880 records an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance but no publications since 2011 have been assessed. There is now evidence that individuals may present with disease in adult hood, and some evidence that those with monoallelic variants present with milder disease.

Update on monallelic cases:

PMID: 21675912 - Schlingmann et al 2011 - report 7 families with homozgyous or compound heterozgyous variants in CYP24A1 and infantile hypercalcaemia and 1 case with a heterozygous deletion affecting a splice site but the authors note that there may be another undetected variant outside of the coding region. Analysis was of a few candidate genes only. Renal cysts were not assessed.

PMID: 22337913 - Tebben et al 2012 - proband (aged 44 years) with hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria and elevated serum 1,25(OH)2D. Only CYP24A1 and CYP27B were sequenced. 2 splice mutations in CYP24A1 were identified. Seven family members from three generations showed chemical and clinical phenotypes with one or two CYP24A1 mutations, suggesting autosomal dominant transmission with partial penetrance of the trait. Renal cysts were noted in the proband and one heterozygous child of the proband.

PMID: 24235083 - Colussi et al 2014 - report 2 unrelated probands with homozgyous variants in CYP24A1 and recurrent nephrolithiasis, chronic hypercalcaemia with depressed parathyroid hormone (PTH) and increased 1,25(OH)(2)D levels; heterozygous carriers had nephrolithiasis (two of six), hypercalciuria (two of six) and high or normal-high 1,25(OH)(2)D (four of four).  The authors conclude that heterozygous carriers may also have subtle abnormalities of vitamin D metabolism that predispose them to events such as renal stones.                                                                                                                                      

PMID: 26214117 - Molin et al 2015 - report 25 patients out of a pool of 72 with hypercalcemia that had CYP24A1 variants. Only this gene was screened. 20 had biallelic variants, mostly with nephrocalincosis or renal stones. 5 neonates were heterozygous without renal disease. Further investigation of relatives found a further 21 heterozygotes who were found to have normal serum calcium and PTH levels. They note that while most heterozygous individuals remain asymptomatic, hypercalcemia may occur due to excessive vitamin D intake.

PMID: 27129455 - O'Keeffe et al 2016 - ABSTRACT ONLY ACCESSED - report a family with affected individuals with both biallelic and monallelic variants in CYP24A1. A gene dose effect is apparent: subjects with biallelic, compound heterozygous mutations (A/B) have a more severe clinical and biochemical phenotype, whereas, subjects with monoallelic mutations demonstrate milder disease manifestations. However, they note that 2 subjects with monoallelic mutations had nephrolithiasis and one had non-PTH dependent hypercalcemia.

PMID: 34307984 - Hanna et al 2021 - report a high prevalance in of kidney cysts in patients with CYP24A1 deficiency. Looked at 16 patients from 12 pedigrees with confirmed pathogenic variants. Medullary and/or corticomedullary junction cysts were present in all cases. Heterozygous variants were reported in 2 families - patient 11, pedigree 7, and patients 1,2 and 3 in pedigree 1. Patient 10 was compound heterozygous. Family 1 is same family reported in Tebben et al 2012.

PMID: 38504242 - Wang et al 2024 - studied 6 patients with Idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia. 2 patients were found to have compound heterozygous mutations of CYP24A1, one patient had a monoallelic CYP24A1 variant (patient 1). Patient presented with hypercalcemia and had significant renal calcification.

PMID: 33249478 - Brancatella et al 2021 - ABSTRACT ONLY ACCESSED - a large family harboring the nonsense c.667A>T, p.Arg223* pathogenic variant in the CYP24A1 gene was evaluated. All subjects underwent clinical and biochemical evaluation and complete analysis of vitamin D metabolites. The 40 yo male proband proband, was homozygous for p.Arg223* pathogenic variant. Compared with the wild-types, heterozygotes had higher serum calcium and 25(OH)D3 concentrations, without any difference in the other biochemical parameters and in the rate of nephrolithiasis. The authors note that heterozygotes might require surveillance because of the potential risk of developing hypercalcemia and related clinical manifestations if exposed to triggering factors.

In conclusion, while the bulk of patients with Hypercalcemia have biallelic variants, those with monoallelic variants generally present with a milder phenotype, which may be amplified by exposure to high levels of vitamin D.; to: The OMIM entry for this gene disease association Hypercalcemia, infantile, 1, OMIM:143880 records an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance but no publications since 2011 have been assessed.

Cystic kidney disease v4.22 NEK8 Achchuthan Shanmugasundram changed review comment from: PMID:37598857 reported the identification of monoallelic NEK8 variants in 12 different families reported with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Of these, de novo missense variant p.Arg45Trp was found in 10 families and missense variants p.Ile150Met and p.Lys157Gln were found in one family each. Patient fibroblasts show normal ciliogenesis and normal localisation and expression of NEK8.

PMID:18199800 reported one patient with biallelic NEK8 variant (p.His425Tyr) and with nephronophthisis. Nephronophthisis is an autosomal recessive kidney disease that leads to kidney cyst formation and progressive renal failure.

Added comment: PAX2 (OMIM 167409) is associated with Papillorenal syndrome, one feature of which can be renal cysts. Ocular involvement is common, but it is also noted that it can be mild/undetectable. In our NHSE lab we have identified a novel missense variant in a patient with cystic dysplastic kidneys. This was detected by Exomiser tiering by WGS and was reported as likely pathogenic. There are many reports in the literature of its association with renal disease, including cysts, and I expect that is the reason it is included on the R195 and R257 panels, but it also seems appropriate to be included on R193 where currently it is not even amber or red.

Added comment: Birt Hogg Dube syndrome (caused by variants in FLCN) is frequently associated with multiple renal cysts, without renal enlargement or progressive CKD. Previous published data indicate simple renal cysts present in 31-45% (PMID: 31266032;19785621) of patients with BHD and audit of 20 patients I follow up revealed simple renal cysts in 11 (multiple in 9 of these individuals) i.e. similar to the literature. Therefore BHD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of multiple renal cysts (without renal enlargement).

Prenatally, dysmorphic features, numerous renal cysts and minor cardiac malformations were detected. Post-natally, dysmorphic features included shallow orbits, micrognathia, hypoplastic nipples, talipes equinovarus, lipodystrophy and cutis marmorata. She developed failure to thrive and seizures. A homozygous mutation in ALG9, c.860A > G (p.Tyr287Cys) was identified. Both parents were found to carry one copy of the mutation. In a table of phenotypic features from the 11 known patients with ALG9-CDG (including the one here), 3 other patients are reported with polycystic kidneys and homozygous ALG variants.; to: Associated with Gillessen-Kaesbach-Nishimura syndrome, 263210 (AR) in OMIM in which Polycystic kidneys is listed as a clinical feature.

PMID: 31395617 - Besse et al 2019 - report 2 patients in a clinically defined cohort with genetically unresolved polycystic liver and kidney disease that had rare heterozygous loss-of-function variants in ALG9. Then using a novel ‘genotype-first’ approach to find ALG9 mutation carriers from a large cohort of exome-sequenced individuals, they found that 7/8 (88%) of ALG9 mutation carriers over age 50 had a least 4 kidney cysts (abstract only accessed).

PMID: 28932688 - Davis et al 2017 - report the case of a proband with ALG9-CDG who has a milder phenotype. This female child was born to non-consanguineous parents of Scottish decent. Prenatally, dysmorphic features, numerous renal cysts and minor cardiac malformations were detected. Post-natally, dysmorphic features included shallow orbits, micrognathia, hypoplastic nipples, talipes equinovarus, lipodystrophy and cutis marmorata. She developed failure to thrive and seizures. A homozygous mutation in ALG9, c.860A > G (p.Tyr287Cys) was identified. Both parents were found to carry one copy of the mutation. In a table of phenotypic features from the 11 known patients with ALG9-CDG (including the one here), 3 other patients are reported with polycystic kidneys and homozygous ALG variants.
Cystic kidney disease v1.39 WDR19 Anna de Burca Added comment: Comment on list classification: Promoted to green following further discussion with Ellen Thomas. Although this gene is associated with a syndromic presentation, it is appropriate for inclusion in this panel due to the renal element of the phenotype.
