Abstract
Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) form a group of heterogeneous disorders that affect the kidneys, ureters and bladder, with frequent asynchronous presentations and multiple CAKUT associations in the same individual. Urinary tract formation is a complex process, dependent of the interaction of multiple genes and their sub-product. The same genic alterations can lead to different molecular expressions and different morphological anomalies. The ureterocele is a cystic dilation of the distal intramural ureter, resulting in obstruction of urine flow, dilation of the ureter and renal pelvis and loss of renal function. Two key steps in the urinary tract ontogenesis may be related to ureterocele development: formation and migration of the ureteric bud and its incorporation in the bladder. This review aims to describe the morphological, cellular and biochemical steps, as well as the genes involved in the occurrence of this anomaly.

Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract: a genetic disorder? Int J Nephrol 2012; 2012:909083.

Abstract
Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUTs) occur in 3–6 per 1000 live births, account for the most cases of pediatric end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), and predispose an individual to hypertension and cardiovascular disease throughout life. Although CAKUTs are a part of many known syndromes, only few single-candidate causative genes have been implicated so far in nonsyndromic cases of human CAKUT. Evidence from mouse models supports the hypothesis that non-syndromic human CAKUT may be caused by single-gene defects. Because increasing numbers of children with CAKUT are surviving to adulthood, better understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of CAKUT, development of new strategies aiming at prevention of CAKUT, preservation of renal function, and avoidance of associated cardiovascular morbidity are needed. In this paper, we will focus on the knowledge derived from the study of syndromic and non-syndromic forms of CAKUT in humans and mouse mutants to discuss the role of genetic, epigenetic, and in utero environmental factors in the pathogenesis of non-syndromic forms of CAKUT in children with particular emphasis on the genetic contributions to CAKUT.

Abstract
Conditional deletion of murine fibroblast growth factor receptors (Fgfrs) 1 and 2 in metanephric mesenchyme leads to renal agenesis with unbranched ureteric buds; however, there are occasionally two buds per nephric duct. Our goal was to determine whether conditional deletion of Fgfr1 or Fgfr2 alone resulted in multiple ureteric bud induction sites. Although deletion of Fgfr1 alone results in no abnormalities, loss of Fgfr2 often leads to multiple ureteric buds and anomalies including renal aplasia, misshaped kidneys, partially duplicated kidneys, duplicated ureters, and obstructed hydroureter. Deletion of Fgfr2 did not change expression domains of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), Robo2, bone morphogenetic protein 4, or Sprouty1, all of which regulate ureteric bud induction. Cultured Fgfr2 mutant nephric ducts were also not more sensitive to exogenous GDNF than controls. Whole mount in situ hybridization revealed that in mutant embryos, Fgfr2 was deleted from stromal cells around the nephric duct and ureteric bud base, which correlates well with the ureteric bud induction abnormalities. Thus, Fgfr2 is critical in ensuring that there is a single ureteric bud from the nephric duct. The plethora of later stage defects in Fgfr2 conditional knockouts is reminiscent of many human cases of genetic urogenital anomalies.

Abstract
Congenital renal dysplasia (RD) is a major cause of renal failure in the pediatric population. Although molecular and genetic aspects of RD have been studied in animal models, limited studies have been done in human RD primarily due to lack of available material. To identify novel genes that are associated with RD and normal kidney development, we performed microarray analysis on total RNA extracted from age-matched fetal kidneys of normal and RD patients. In midgestational RD kidneys, we found 180 upregulated and 104 downregulated transcripts compared with normal kidneys. Among the increased transcripts in the dysplastic kidneys were matrix-degrading enzymes (MMP7, MMP19, TIMP1), inflammation- and immunity-related genes, and growth factors. Expression of genes known to be essential for normal kidney development, such as WT1, BMP7, renin, angiotensin receptor 2 (AGTR2), SAL-like 1 (SALL1) and glypican 3 (GPC3), were decreased in dysplastic kidneys. Expression of selected gene products (BMP7, renin, and MMP7) was further confirmed in parallel sections and in several normal and human dysplastic kidneys, supporting the role of these genes as putative RD biomarkers. These results are among the first to reveal disrupted expression profiles during gestation in human RD patients.

Abstract
Renal agenesis/adysplasia is the leading etiology of end stage renal disease in children. The etiology for renal agenesis/adysplasia has not been identified. The purpose of the present study was to determine if renal agenesis/adysplasia occur in a familial pattern. Twenty seven cases of bilateral renal agenesis/adysplasia were identified by review of autopsy records, and four were excluded. A male excess of 2.8:1 was noted with a mean gestation of 35 weeks. Prenatal and family histories were obtained on 11/23 families. Potential embryologic stressors were identified in 8/11 pregnancies. Thirty-four 1st and 2nd degree relatives from five families participated in a renal ultrasound exam. An increased prevalence of congenital renal anomalies was identified in the relatives of index patients with bilateral renal agenesis/adysplasia (14.7%) compared to controls (2.2%), with a recurrence risk of 6.2 for 1st degree relatives. The most frequently identified renal anomalies in the family members were solitary kidneys and duplicated collecting systems. The increased prevalence of a range of renal anomalies within affected families raises the possibility that isolated renal malformations result from unidentified gene-environment interactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Congenital solitary kidneys, which are susceptible to renal failure, have been considered mostly due to unilateral renal agenesis and partly due to renal aplasia. Risk of familial recurrence and of other associated anomalies is known to be much higher in renal agenesis than in renal aplasia. However, differential diagnosis between the two renal anomalies is difficult, and renal agenesis has been found much less frequently in ultrasound screening studies of fetuses than in autopsy studies. METHODS In order to investigate the nature and incidence of the congenital solitary kidney, the present study performed ultrasound screening of the kidneys in 4000 newborn babies. A diagnosis of renal agenesis was made when ultrasound identified no renal parenchyma and renoscintigraphy showed no renal function, and renal aplasia when there was a renal parenchyma without any function. RESULTS Primary screening detected 52 babies suspected of having small kidneys and one baby with a multicystic dysplastic kidney, but no baby with renal agenesis. Forty-seven of the 53 babies underwent a second ultrasound scanning at one month of age. Three small kidneys in three babies further decreased in size, had no function and were diagnosed as renal aplasia (which has an incidence rate of one in 1300). Follow-up ultrasound studies showed further regression in all three, which became very hard to distinguish by one year of age. CONCLUSIONS The present study showed that ultrasound in the neonatal period could identify the aplastic kidney, which had a reniform shape, not rudimentary, during the newborn period, and regressed rapidly thereafter. These findings indicate that most renal agenesis diagnosed clinically thus far might more correctly be renal aplasia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been recently found that mice, especially males, with a disrupted angiotensin type 2 receptor (AT2R) gene, which is located on the X-chromosome, often have a range of congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT), including renal hypoplasia, and that Caucasian male patients with ureteropelvic junction stenosis (UPJ) and multicystic dysplastic kidneys frequently have A-G transition in intron 1 of the AT2R gene. We have previously found that renal hypoplasia is remarkably predominant in Japanese boys. METHODS We investigated sex ratios for the frequency of each CAKUT. The frequency of the A-G transition between the controls and 66 Japanese boys with CAKUT were compared. There was renal hypoplasia in 16, UPJ in 17, vesicoureteral in 20, and other anomalies in 13. We also investigated whether any mutations in AT2R genes were detectable in patients with renal hypoplasia. RESULTS In contrast to mice with a disruption of the AT2R gene, the male-to-female ratios in human patients proved to be considerably variable: 16 for renal hypoplasia, 2.1 for UPJ, 0.8 for vesicoureteral, and 1.2 for others. The frequency of the A-G transition was not different between the control population and the patients with CAKUT [31 of 102 (30%) vs. 23 of 66 (35%), respectively]. A sequencing study disclosed no mutations in nine boys with renal hypoplasia. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate that the AT2R gene may not play a major role in the development of renal hypoplasia and other CAKUT in humans, at least in the Japanese population.

Abstract
Malformations of the kidney and lower urinary tract are common causes of chronic renal failure in infants and young children, but little is known about the molecular pathogenesis of these disorders. In animal experiments, the main causes of malformation are mutations, chemical and pharmaceutical teratogens, obstruction of fetal urinary flow, and alterations of maternal nutrition. The focus of this review is to consider how mutations and other alterations of gene expression during development cause human urinary tract malformations. Some of these disorders are associated with congenital anomalies in multiple organ systems, and two such syndromes are considered in detail: first, the renal-coloboma syndrome, in which mutations of the PAX2 transcription factor cause partial failure of urinary tract growth; second, Kallmann's syndrome, in which mutations of a cell-signaling molecule are associated with the absence of the urinary tract. In patients seen by nephrologists and urologists, however, most urinary tract malformations occur in isolation, and in some of these individuals, a genetic pathogenesis is strongly suggested by a positive family history and genetic linkage studies. One common example is primary vesicoureteric reflux. Furthermore, sporadic malformations have been shown to be associated with polymorphisms of genes expressed during construction of the urinary tract. In the long term, an understanding of the genetic aspects of human urinary tract malformations will help to unravel the pathogenesis of these disorders and may facilitate the design of genetic screening tests with a view to early diagnosis.

Abstract
Two siblings (one girl and one boy), with a left multicystic kidney in whom a renal abnormality had been recognized prenatally, are reported. A large renal mass was present in both patients and the second sibling also had hypertension. Early surgical resection was carried out with satisfactory clinical progress and resolution of the hypertension. Multicystic kidney is considered a developmental abnormality with a sporadic incidence. These cases and other reports of familial incidence in the literature indicate that there may also be a genetic basis for the abnormality.

Abstract
Although jejunal atresia occasionally may occur with a familial pattern, an association with renal disease has not been described. The authors report on three family members treated over two generations, all of whom had both proximal jejunal atresia and renal dysplasia. This association was most likely inherited as an autosomal dominant trait.

Abstract
Although congenital nephropathies and uropathies only represent a fraction of possible genitourinary diseases detected during childhood, they have serious and sometimes avoidable morbidity and mortality. Advances in genetic, molecular, and cellular biology research continue to better define embryologic insults to normal organogenesis and offer the promise that many of these conditions might be avoided in the future. For now, awareness of these entities and their varied presentations and manifestations is crucial so that prompt evaluation and aggressive multidisciplinary management assures the affected child optimal growth and development.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was the endocrinological, enzymatic, and genetic evaluation of a family with a complex syndrome associating hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism with hyposmia, X-linked ichthyosis and renal malformation. DESIGN Hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular function, olfaction, steroid sulphatase activity, and morphological renal studies were assessed. DNA molecular analyses were carried out in all the patients. PATIENTS Two brothers and their maternal uncle showed the clinical picture of congenital ichthyosis, hypogonadism, hyposmia and unilateral renal maldevelopment. MEASUREMENTS LH and FSH were determined by RIA basally and after GnRH stimulation, and the test repeated after a period of GnRH priming. Testosterone response to hCG was measured. Arylsulphatase C assay was performed as a measure of steroid sulphatase activity. DNA amplification analysis and Southern blot analysis of four Xp22.3 loci were performed. RESULTS Low levels of gonadotophins, basally and after acute GnRH, increased clearly after GnRH priming. Low testosterone levels increased promptly after hCG. Subnormal levels of arylsulphatase C were detected. Hyposmia and renal hypoplasia or aplasia were demonstrated. A large Xp 22.3 deletion including the genes responsible for X-linked ichthyosis (steroid sulphatase deficiency) and Kallmann syndrome was demonstrated. CONCLUSIONS The absence of the gene encoding steroid sulphatase accounts for the X-linked ichthyosis in these patients, whereas the absence of the Kallmann syndrome gene accounts for hypogonadism, anosmia and for the single kidney found in two of the three patients.

Abstract
Renal dysplasia and agenesis may be a familial disorder. We report the familial occurrence of unilateral renal agenesis and proteinuria that, at least in one case, was related to focal glomerulosclerosis. Whether these abnormalities are related to an intrinsic abnormality in the remaining kidney, hyperfiltration injury, systemic hypertension, or some other poorly defined factor is unclear at present. However, this report, along with previous case reports of familial renal agenesis, suggests that ultrasonographic screening of first-degree relatives of patients with renal agenesis is appropriate. Whether treatments such as dietary protein restriction, use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, or other therapeutic interventions will have a beneficial effect in asymptomatic individuals with unilateral renal agenesis remains to be determined.
