Clinical presentation of ADTKD subtypes

Characteristics UMOD MUC1 REN (het.) HNF1B DNAJB11 (het.) SEC61A1
Estimated prevalence/reported cases
  • USA: 3% of monogenic ESKD [4]

  • UK: 9/1 000 000 population [3]

  • UK: 2% of ESKD [3]

  • Ireland: ∼4/1 000 000 [28]

  • US: ∼0.7/1 000 000 [7]

Around 30 families described globally [11] ∼19% in selected patient cohorts, ranging from 5% to 31% and highest in children with CAKUT [29]
  • 27 families reported

  • Prevalence was calculated at 0.85/10 000 individuals [12]

  • Prevalence unknown, probably ultra-rare

  • Three families with kidney disease described globally

ESKD onset and renal survival
  • Median (IQR) age at ESKD 46 years (39–57 years) [9]

  • Median renal survival: 54 years, 95% CI 51.5–56.5 years [9]

  • Median (IQR) age at ESKD (IQR): 36 years (30–46 years) [9]

  • Median renal survival: median: 46 years, 95% CI 39.3–52.7 years [9]

  • Median age at ESKD [11]:

  • Signal: 57 years

  • Prosegment: 62 years

  • Mature: 68 years

  • Median (IQR) age at ESKD:

  • 50 years (30–56.5 years) [30]

Median renal survival: 75 years, 95% CI 72.5–77.5 years [12] Unknown
ESKD onset: age distribution 18–87 years [8] 16–>80 years [10] 15 years to >80 years Highly variable, ESKD can occur before age 2 years [31] 55–89 years Infantile onset of CKD, one patient with ESKD ∼70 years and one patient with CKD G4 at 53 years
Extrarenal clinical features Prevalent (∼80%) and early-onset gout (median: 27 years) [9] Gout less prevalent (∼25%) and later onset (median: 45 years) [9]
  • Mild hypotension

  • Early-onset gout (first attack ∼30 years)

  • MODY5

  • Gout

  • Genital tract malformations

  • Neurological features in 17q12 deletion syndrome

  • Gout uncommon

  • Vascular phenotypes reported in four families including intracranial aneurysms, spontaneous dissection of the carotid, aneurysms of the ascending thoracic aorta

  • Heterogeneous presentation

  • Early-onset gout reported in one family

  • Pre- and post-natal growth restriction

  • Bifid uvula

  • Cleft palate and velopharyngeal insufficiency

  • Pre-axial polydactyly
