Test Code CKDGP Cystic Kidney Disease Gene Panel, Varies


Ordering Guidance


Targeted testing for familial variants (also called site-specific or known mutations/variants testing) is available for the genes on this panel. See FMTT / Familial Variant, Targeted Testing, Varies. To obtain more information about this testing option, call 800-533-1710.

 

Customization of this panel and single gene analysis for any gene present on this panel are available. For more information, see CGPH / Custom Gene Panel, Hereditary, Next-Generation Sequencing, Varies.



Additional Testing Requirements


All prenatal specimens must be accompanied by a maternal blood specimen; order MATCC / Maternal Cell Contamination, Molecular Analysis, Varies on the maternal specimen as this must be a different order number than the prenatal specimen.



Shipping Instructions


Specimen preferred to arrive within 96 hours of collection.



Specimen Required


Patient Preparation: A previous bone marrow transplant from an allogenic donor will interfere with testing. For instructions for testing patients who have received a bone marrow transplant, call 800-533-1710.

Clinical Information

Hereditary forms of cystic kidney disease have several underlying genetic etiologies and may present in childhood or adulthood, with or without extrarenal features. The two most common categories of hereditary cystic kidney disease are the ciliopathic disorders and the phakomatoses.(1)

 

Ciliopathic disorders causing cystic kidney disease include polycystic kidney disease (PKD), nephronophthisis (NPHP), and medullary cystic kidney disease (MCKD). The PKD1 and PKD2 genes cause the majority of autosomal dominant PKD (ADPKD), while the GANAB and DNAJB11 genes are implicated in a minority of cases.(2,3) The PKHD1 gene is the major gene associated with autosomal recessive PKD (ARPKD), while DZIP1L has been more recently identified as a secondary cause.(4) ARPKD is often diagnosed in utero due to oligohydramnios. NPHP is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by cystic kidney disease, inflammation, fibrosis, and progression to kidney failure. MCKD is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by cysts in the medullary region of the kidney, kidney tubule fibrosis, hyperuricemia, and slowly worsening kidney function. Genes included on this panel for MCKD include HNF1B, UMOD, and SEC61A1 (note the MUC1 gene is not included on this panel).

 

Phakomatoses, also known as neurocutaneous syndromes, are a broad group of hereditary disorders characterized by involvement of structures that arise from the embryonic ectoderm (central nervous system, skin, and eyes). Cystic renal lesions are common in these disorders. Phakomatoses genes included on this panel are the TSC1 and TSC2 tumor suppressor genes associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and the VHL gene associated with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome.
