A novel pattern of mutation in uromodulin disorders: autosomal dominant medullary cystic kidney disease type 2, familial juvenile hyperuricemic nephropathy, and autosomal dominant glomerulocystic kidney disease.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Autosomal dominant medullary cystic kidney disease type 2 (MCKD2), familial juvenile hyperuricemic nephropathy (FJHN), and autosomal dominant glomerulocystic kidney disease (GCKD) constitute a hereditary renal disease group that may lead to end-stage renal failure caused by mutations of the UMOD gene and its product, uromodulin or Tamm-Horsfall protein. Of 34 different UMOD mutations described to...
