Background

Inherited cystic kidney disease (iCKD) is a genetic disorder caused by mutation of genes related to function of cilium resulting in renal and extrarenal cysts. Identification of iCKD genes in each case is necessary for precise treatment. However, pipeline for individualized genetic analysis has not been established yet.

Methods

This is a 3-year prospective, multicenter cohort study at 11 hospitals from May 2019 to December 2021. Patients with over 3 renal cysts in both kidneys were enrolled. Baseline demographics, co-morbidities, kidney complications, volume of kidney and liver, and genetic profiles are investigated.

Results

A total of 805 patients were enrolled. Clinically typical polycystic kidney disease (PKD) were 71.1% (577) whereas 21.1% (170) were atypical with absence of a family history or atypical findings in CT. Pediatric patients were 7.2% (58) (Figure 1). Median age of individuals was 45 years and 49.6% were male. Average eGFR was 75.3 ± 33.4 mL/min/1.73m2. Median (25-75th percentile) total kidney volume (TKV) and total liver volume (TLV) were 1085.0 (595.0-1784) mL and 1557.0 (1277.0-2163.0) mL. Distribution by Mayo classification was as follows: 1A 108 (14.9%), 1B 198 (27.4%), 1C 234 (32.3%), 1D 111 (15.3%), and 1E 73 (10.1%). A total of 23 genes including PKD1, NV, PKD2, DM, COL4A5 were identified in 545 patients using targeted gene panel of 89 genes related to cilopathy (Figure 2). PKD1 mutation increased from 15.3% of Mayo 1A to 70.0% of 1E. PKD1 mutation was correlated with cyst infection, kidney pain, and cyst hemorrhage.

Conclusion

This is the first nationwide cohort for Korean iCKD. We report the baseline characteristics and genetic findings prior to detailed molecular analysis.
