In utero nephropathy, Denys-Drash syndrome and Potter phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

We report an unusual case of Denys-Drash syndrome presenting in a newborn infant with end-stage renal failure of antenatal origin and Potter phenotype. DNA analysis showed a novel missense change in arginine 394 of zinc finger 3 of the WT1 gene. This mutation may lead to an earlier and more severe presentation of Denys-Drash syndrome. It may be of interest to look for this mutation in other Potter phenotype cases.
