Background

Autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease (ADPLD) is a rare disease with female preponderance, majorly based on pathogenic variants in PRKCSH or SEC63. Clinically, ADPLD is characterized by vast heterogeneity ranging from asymptomatic courses to highly symptomatic hepatomegaly. Little is known to predict disease progression at early stages hindering clinical management and genetic counselling. By establishing genotype-phenotype correlations, this study aims to improve disease prognostication in ADPLD.

Methods

We analyzed an international cohort from ten tertiary centers with 265 ADPLD patients harboring pathogenic variants in PRKCSH or SEC63. Genotypes were correlated with in-depth phenotypic data including normalized age-adjusted liver volume (nTLV) and PLD-related hospitalization (liver event).

Results

185 (70%) patients with ADPLD-PRKCSH and 80 (30%) patients with ADPLD-SEC63 were included (76% females). Classifying individual nTLV into predefined, age-adjusted progression groups yielded predictive risk discrimination for future liver events independent of sex and genetic defect (Fig. 1A). Additionally, severe disease in terms of onset of liver events was more likely in patients with PRKCSH variants as compared to those with SEC63 variants (Fig. 1B-C). A newly developed clinical score consisting of basic genotype and patient sex was able to discern mild courses from moderate and severe disease.

Conclusion

Both imaging and clinical genetic scoring have the potential to inform ADPLD-patients on their risk of developing symptomatic disease. Hereby, the combination of female sex, PRKCSH-disease, and rapid progression of hepatomegaly is associated with the greatest odds of PLD-related hospitalization.
