ADPKD, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

a

Sequencing was performed by ion semiconductor and/or Sanger sequencing, and all reported mutations were confirmed by Sanger sequencing.

b

The patient’s family history included CAKUT, reduced renal function, diabetes, and elevated liver enzymes in the patient’s father.

c

At the first presentation to the nephrologist, the patient’s HNF1β score would have been 7; on reevaluation 13 years later, the HNF1β score had progressed to 13.

d

The patient’s family history included gout and hypomagnesemia in the patient’s father.
