Renal and extra-renal phenotypes in a fetus with a de novo pathogenic variant in the HNF1B gene
PRENATAL DIAGNOSIS(2024)
摘要
We report a fetus with prenatal ultrasound at 21 gestational weeks showing left cystic renal dysplasia with subcapsular cysts and echogenic parenchyma, right echogenic kidney with absent corticomedullary differentiation, and left congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) with bowel herniation, with intestinal atresia (IA) found on postmortem examination. Whole genome sequencing of fetal blood DNA revealed a heterozygous pathogenic variant c.344 + 2 T>G in the HNF1B gene (NM_000458). Sanger sequencing of the parental samples suggested that it arose de novo in the fetus. HNF1B-associated disorders affect multiple organs with significant phenotypic heterogeneity. In pediatric and adult patients, renal cystic disease and cystic dysplasia are the dominant phenotypes. In prenatal settings, renal anomaly is also the most common presentation, typically with bilateral hyperechogenic kidneys. Our case presented with two uncommon extra-renal phenotypes of CDH and IA besides the typical bilateral cystic renal dysplasia. This association has been reported in fetuses with 17q12 microdeletion but not with HNF1B point mutation. Our case is the first prenatal report of such an association and highlights the possible causal relationship of HNF1B defects with CDH and IA in addition to the typical renal anomalies.
