A Novel Monoallelic ALG5 Variant Causing Late-Onset ADPKD and Tubulointerstitial Fibrosis. Kidney Int Rep 2024; 9:2209-2226. [PMID: 39081747 PMCID: PMC11284371 DOI: 10.1016/j.ekir.2024.04.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2024] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Monoallelic variants in the ALG5 gene encoding asparagine-linked glycosylation protein 5 homolog (ALG5) have been recently shown to disrupt polycystin-1 (PC1) maturation and trafficking via underglycosylation, causing an autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease-like (ADPKD-like) phenotype and interstitial fibrosis. In this report, we present clinical, genetic, histopathologic, and protein structure and functional correlates of a new ALG5 variant, p.R79W, that we identified in 2 distant genetically related Irish families displaying an atypical late-onset ADPKD phenotype combined with tubulointerstitial damage. Methods Whole exome and targeted sequencing were used for segregation analysis of available relatives. This was followed by immunohistochemistry examinations of kidney biopsies, and targeted (UMOD, MUC1) and untargeted plasma proteome and N-glycomic studies. Results We identified a monoallelic ALG5 variant [GRCh37 (NM_013338.5): g.37569565G>A, c.235C>T; p.R79W] that cosegregates in 23 individuals, of whom 18 were clinically affected. We detected abnormal localization of ALG5 in the Golgi apparatus of renal tubular cells in patients' kidney specimens. Further, we detected the pathological accumulation of uromodulin, an N-glycosylated glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein, in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), but not mucin-1, an O- and N-glycosylated protein. Biochemical investigation revealed decreased plasma and urinary uromodulin levels in clinically affected individuals. Proteomic and glycoproteomic profiling revealed the dysregulation of chronic kidney disease (CKD)-associated proteins. Conclusion ALG5 dysfunction adversely affects maturation and trafficking of N-glycosylated and GPI anchored protein uromodulin, leading to structural and functional changes in the kidney. Our findings confirm ALG5 as a cause of late-onset ADPKD and provide additional insight into the molecular mechanisms of ADPKD-ALG5.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a genetic kidney disease with high phenotypic variability. Furthering insights into patients' ADPKD progression could lead to earlier detection, management, and alter the course to end stage kidney disease (ESKD). We sought to identify patients with rapid decline (RD) in kidney function and to determine clinical factors associated with RD using a data-driven approach. A retrospective cohort study was performed among patients with incident ADPKD (1/1/2002-12/31/2018). Latent class mixed models were used to identify RD patients using differences in eGFR trajectories over time. Predictors of RD were selected based on agreements among feature selection methods, including logistic, regularized, and random forest modeling. The final model was built on the selected predictors and clinically relevant covariates. Among 1,744 patients with incident ADPKD, 125 (7%) were identified as RD. Feature selection included 42 clinical measurements for adaptation with multiple imputations; mean (SD) eGFR was 85.2 (47.3) and 72.9 (34.4) in the RD and non-RD groups, respectively. Multiple imputed datasets identified variables as important features to distinguish RD and non-RD groups with the final prediction model determined as a balance between area under the curve (AUC) and clinical relevance which included 6 predictors: age, sex, hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, hemoglobin, and proteinuria. Results showed 72%-sensitivity, 70%-specificity, 70%-accuracy, and 0.77-AUC in identifying RD. 5-year ESKD rates were 38% and 7% among RD and non-RD groups, respectively. Using real-world routine clinical data among patients with incident ADPKD, we observed that six variables highly predicted RD in kidney function.

Abstract
Thousands of pathogenic variants in more than 100 genes can cause kidney cysts with substantial variability in phenotype and risk of subsequent kidney failure. Despite an established genotype-phenotype correlation in cystic kidney diseases, incomplete penetrance and variable disease expressivity are present as is the case in all monogenic diseases. In family members with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), the same causal variant is responsible in all affected family members; however, there can still be striking discordance in phenotype severity. This narrative review explores contributors to within-family discordance in ADPKD severity. Cases of biallelic and digenic inheritance, where 2 rare pathogenic variants in cystogenic genes are coexistent in one family, account for a small proportion of within-family discordance. Genetic background, including cis and trans factors and the polygenic propensity for comorbid disease, also plays a role but has not yet been exhaustively quantified. Environmental exposures, including diet; smoking; alcohol, salt, and protein intake, and comorbid diseases, including obesity, diabetes, hypertension, kidney stones, dyslipidemia, and additional coexistent kidney diseases all contribute to ADPKD phenotypic variability among family members. Given that many of the factors contributing to phenotype variability are preventable, modifiable, or treatable, health care providers and patients need to be aware of these factors and address them in the treatment of ADPKD.

Abstract
Mouse models of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) show that intact primary cilia are required for cyst growth following the inactivation of polycystin-1. The signaling pathways underlying this process, termed cilia-dependent cyst activation (CDCA), remain unknown. Using translating ribosome affinity purification RNASeq on mouse kidneys with polycystin-1 and cilia inactivation before cyst formation, we identify the differential 'CDCA pattern' translatome specifically dysregulated in kidney tubule cells destined to form cysts. From this, Glis2 emerges as a candidate functional effector of polycystin signaling and CDCA. In vitro changes in Glis2 expression mirror the polycystin- and cilia-dependent changes observed in kidney tissue, validating Glis2 as a cell culture-based indicator of polycystin function related to cyst formation. Inactivation of Glis2 suppresses polycystic kidney disease in mouse models of ADPKD, and pharmacological targeting of Glis2 with antisense oligonucleotides slows disease progression. Glis2 transcript and protein is a functional target of CDCA and a potential therapeutic target for treating ADPKD.

Clin J Am Soc Nephrol 2024; 19:591-601. [PMID: 38407866 PMCID: PMC11108249 DOI: 10.2215/cjn.0000000000000427] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Mayo Imaging Classification was developed to predict the rate of disease progression in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. This study aimed to validate its ability to predict kidney outcomes in a large multicenter autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease cohort. METHODS Included were patients with ≥1 height-adjusted total kidney volume (HtTKV) measurement and ≥3 eGFR values during ≥1-year follow-up. Mayo HtTKV class stability, kidney growth rates, and eGFR decline rates were calculated. The observed eGFR decline was compared with predictions from the Mayo Clinic future eGFR equation. The future eGFR prediction equation was also tested for nonlinear eGFR decline. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression models were used to assess time to kidney failure using Mayo HtTKV class as a predictor variable. RESULTS We analyzed 618 patients with a mean age of 47±11 years and mean eGFR of 64±25 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 at baseline. Most patients (82%) remained in their baseline Mayo HtTKV class. During a mean follow-up of 5.1±2.2 years, the mean total kidney volume growth rates and eGFR decline were 5.33%±3.90%/yr and -3.31±2.53 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 per year, respectively. Kidney growth and eGFR decline showed considerable overlap between the classes. The observed annual eGFR decline was not significantly different from the predicted values for classes 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D but significantly slower for class 1E. This was also observed in patients aged younger than 40 years and older than 60 years and those with PKD2 mutations. A polynomial model allowing nonlinear eGFR decline provided more accurate slope predictions. Ninety-seven patients (16%) developed kidney failure during follow-up. The classification predicted the development of kidney failure, although the sensitivity and positive predictive values were limited. CONCLUSIONS The Mayo Imaging Classification demonstrated acceptable stability and generally predicted kidney failure and eGFR decline rate. However, there was marked interindividual variability in the rate of disease progression within each class.

Abstract
Introduction In the pediatric context, most children with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) maintain a normal glomerular filtration rate (GFR) despite underlying structural kidney damage, highlighting the critical need for early intervention and predictive markers. Due to the inverse relationship between kidney volume and kidney function, risk assessments have been presented on the basis of kidney volume. The aim of this study was to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based kidney volume assessment for risk stratification in pediatric ADPKD and to investigate clinical and genetic differences among risk groups. Methods This multicenter, cross-sectional, and case-control study included 75 genetically confirmed pediatric ADPKD patients (5-18 years) and 27 controls. Kidney function was assessed by eGFR calculated from serum creatinine and cystatin C using the CKiD-U25 equation. Blood pressure was assessed by both office and 24-hour ambulatory measurements. Kidney volume was calculated from MRI using the stereological method. Total kidney volume was adjusted for the height (htTKV). Patients were stratified from A to E classes according to the Leuven Imaging Classification (LIC) using MRI-derived htTKV. Results Median (Q1-Q3) age of the patients was 6.0 (2.0-10.0) years, 56% were male. There were no differences in sex, age, height-SDS, or GFR between the patient and control groups. Of the patients, 89% had PKD1 and 11% had PKD2 mutations. Non-missense mutations were 73% in PKD1 and 75% in PKD2. Twenty patients (27%) had hypertension based on ABPM. Median htTKV of the patients was significantly higher than controls (141 vs. 117 ml/m, p = 0.0003). LIC stratification revealed Classes A (38.7%), B (28%), C (24%), and D + E (9.3%). All children in class D + E and 94% in class C had PKD1 variants. Class D + E patients had significantly higher blood pressure values and hypertension compared to other classes (p > 0.05 for all). Discussion This study distinguishes itself by using MRI-based measurements of kidney volume to stratify pediatric ADPKD patients into specific risk groups. It is important to note that PKD1 mutation and elevated blood pressure were higher in the high-risk groups stratified by age and kidney volume. Our results need to be confirmed in further studies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a monogenic disease characterized by the accumulation of fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys, leading to renal volume enlargement and progressive kidney function impairment. Disease severity, though, may vary due to allelic and genetic heterogeneity. This study aimed to determine genotype-phenotype correlations between PKD1 truncating and non-truncating mutations and kidney function decline in ADPKD patients. METHODS We established a single-center retrospective cohort study in Kuwait where we followed every patient with a confirmed PKD1-ADPKD diagnosis clinically and genetically. Renal function tests were performed annually. We fitted generalized additive mixed effects models with random intercepts for each individual to analyze repeated measures of kidney function across mutation type. We then calculated survival time to kidney failure in a cox proportional hazards model. Models were adjusted for sex, age at visit, and birth year. RESULTS The study included 22 truncating and 20 non-truncating (42 total) patients followed for an average of 6.6 years (range: 1-12 years). Those with PKD1 truncating mutations had a more rapid rate of eGFR decline (-4.7 mL/min/1.73 m2 per year; 95% CI: -5.0, -4.4) compared to patients with PKD1 non-truncating mutations (-3.5 mL/min/1.73 m2 per year; 95% CI: -4.0, -3.1) (p for interaction <0.001). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis of time to kidney failure showed that patients with PKD1 truncating mutations had a shorter renal survival time (median 51 years) compared to those with non-truncating mutations (median 56 years) (P for log-rank = 0.008). CONCLUSION In longitudinal and survival analyses, patients with PKD1 truncating mutations showed a faster decline in kidney function compared to patients PKD1 non-truncating mutations. Early identification of patients with PKD1 truncating mutations can, at best, inform early clinical interventions or, at least, help suggest aggressive monitoring.

Abstract
Genetic testing in nephrology is becoming increasingly important to diagnose patients and to provide appropriate care. This is especially true for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) because this is a common cause of kidney failure and genetically complex. In addition to the major genes, PKD1 and PKD2 , there are at least six minor loci, and phenotypic, and in some cases, genetic overlap with other cystic disorders. Targeted next-generation sequencing, a low-cost, high-throughput technique, has made routine genetic testing viable in nephrology clinics. Appropriate pre- and post-testing genetic counseling is essential to the testing process. Carefully assessing variants is also critical, with the genetic report classifying variants in accordance with American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics guidelines. However, variant of uncertain significance (VUSs) may pose a significant challenge for the ordering clinician. In ADPKD, and particularly within PKD1 , there is high allelic heterogeneity; no single variant is present in more than 2% of families. The Mayo/Polycystic Kidney Disease Foundation variant database, a research tool, is the best current database of PKD1 and PKD2 variants containing over 2300 variants identified in individuals with polycystic kidney disease, but novel variants are often identified. In patients with a high pretest probability of ADPKD on the basis of clinical criteria, but no finding of a pathogenic (P) or likely pathogenic (LP) variant in a cystic kidney gene, additional evaluation of cystic gene VUS can be helpful. In this case-based review, we propose an algorithm for the assessment of such variants in a clinical setting and show how some can be reassigned to a diagnostic grouping. When assessing the relevance of a VUS, we consider both patient/family-specific and allele-related factors using population and variant databases and available prediction tools, as well as genetic expertise. This analysis plus further family studies can aid in making a genetic diagnosis.

Abstract
Purpose Our study aims to investigate the impact of preprocessing on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomic features extracted from the noncystic kidney parenchyma of patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) in the task of classifying PKD1 versus PKD2 genotypes, which differ with regard to cyst burden and disease outcome. Approach The effect of preprocessing on radiomic features was investigated using a single T2-weighted fat saturated (T2W-FS) MRI scan from PKD1 and PKD2 subjects (29 kidneys in total) from the Consortium for Radiologic Imaging Studies of Polycystic Kidney Disease study. Radiomic feature reproducibility using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was computed across MRI normalizations (z -score, reference-tissue, and original image), gray-level discretization, and upsampling and downsampling pixel schemes. A second dataset for genotype classification from 136 subjects T2W-FS MRI images previously enrolled in the HALT Progression of Polycystic Kidney Disease study was matched for age, gender, and Mayo imaging classification class. Genotype classification was performed using a logistic regression classifier and radiomic features extracted from (1) the noncystic kidney parenchyma and (2) the entire kidney. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the classification performance across preprocessing methods. Results Radiomic features extracted from the noncystic kidney parenchyma were sensitive to preprocessing parameters, with varying reproducibility depending on the parameter. The percentage of features with good-to-excellent ICC scores ranged from 14% to 58%. AUC values ranged between 0.47 to 0.68 and 0.56 to 0.73 for the noncystic kidney parenchyma and entire kidney, respectively. Conclusions Reproducibility of radiomic features extracted from the noncystic kidney parenchyma was dependent on the preprocessing parameters used, and the effect on genotype classification was sensitive to preprocessing parameters. The results suggest that texture features may be indicative of genotype expression in ADPKD.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary kidney disorder, estimated to affect 1 in 1000 people. It displays a high level of variability in terms of onset and severity among affected individuals within the same family. In this case study, three sisters (4, 8, and 10 years of age) were suspected of having ADPKD due to their positive family history. While the two younger sisters aged 8 and 4 showed no disease complications and had normal kidney function, the oldest sister was found to have no dipping status on ambulatory blood pressure measurement (ABPM). Two of the sisters were discovered to have a PKD1 mutation, while the third sister aged 8 was heterozygous for TTC21B c.1593_1595del, p. (Leu532del), which is a variant of uncertain significance (VUS). Environmental factors and genetic modifying factors are believed to contribute to the phenotypic variability observed in ADPKD. Identifying and understanding potential genetic and environmental modifiers of ADPKD could pave the way to targeted treatments for childhood ADPKD.

Abstract
Background Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) presents with variable disease severity and progression. Advanced imaging biomarkers may provide insights into cystic and non-cystic processes leading to kidney failure in different age groups. Methods This pilot study included 39 ADPKD patients with kidney failure, stratified into three age groups (<46, 46-56, >56 years old). Advanced imaging biomarkers were assessed using an automated instance cyst segmentation tool. The biomarkers were compared with an age- and sex-matched ADPKD cohort in early chronic kidney disease (CKD). Results Ht-total parenchymal volume correlated negatively with age at kidney failure. The median Ht-total parenchymal volume was significantly lower in patients older than 56 years. Cystic burden was significantly higher at time of kidney failure, especially in patients who reached it before age 46 years. The cyst index at kidney failure was comparable across age groups and Mayo Imaging Classes. Advanced imaging biomarkers showed higher correlation with Ht-total kidney volume in early CKD than at kidney failure. Cyst index and parenchymal index were relatively stable over 5 years prior to kidney failure, whereas Ht-total cyst volume and cyst parenchymal surface area increased significantly. Conclusion Age-related differences in advanced imaging biomarkers suggest variable pathophysiological mechanisms in ADPKD patients with kidney failure. Further studies are needed to validate the utility of these biomarkers in predicting disease progression and guiding treatment strategies.

Abstract
Polycystic kidney diseases are a group of monogenically inherited disorders characterized by cyst development in the kidney with defects in primary cilia function central to pathogenesis. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) has progressive cystogenesis and accounts for 5-10% of kidney failure (KF) patients. There are two major ADPKD genes, PKD1 and PKD2, and seven minor loci. PKD1 accounts for ∼80% of patients and is associated with the most severe disease (KF is typically at 55-65 years); PKD2 accounts for ∼15% of families, with KF typically in the mid-70s. The minor genes are generally associated with milder kidney disease, but for DNAJB11 and ALG5, the age at KF is similar to PKD2. PKD1 and PKD2 have a high level of allelic heterogeneity, with no single pathogenic variant accounting for >2% of patients. Additional genetic complexity includes biallelic disease, sometimes causing very early-onset ADPKD, and mosaicism. Autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease is characterized by severe PLD but limited PKD. The two major genes are PRKCSH and SEC63, while GANAB, ALG8, and PKHD1 can present as ADPKD or autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease. Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease typically has an infantile onset, with PKHD1 being the major locus and DZIP1L and CYS1 being minor genes. In addition, there are a range of mainly recessive syndromic ciliopathies with PKD as part of the phenotype. Because of the phenotypic and genic overlap between the diseases, employing a next-generation sequencing panel containing all known PKD and ciliopathy genes is recommended for clinical testing.

Abstract
We are still learning the genetic basis for many rare diseases. Here we provide a commentary on the analysis of the genetic landscape of patients with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD), one of the most common genetic kidney diseases. Approaches including both phenotype first and genotype first allows some interesting and informative observations within this disease population. PKD1 and PKD2 are the most frequent genetic causes of ADPKD accounting for 78% and 15% respectively, whilst around 7-8% of cases have an alternative genetic diagnosis. These rarer forms include IFT140, GANAB, PKHD1, HNF1B, ALG8, and ALG9. Some previously reported likely pathogenic PKD1 and PKD2 alleles may have a reduced penetrance, or indeed may have been misclassified in terms of their pathogenicity. This recent data concerning all forms of ADPKD points to the importance of performing genetics tests in all families with a clinical diagnosis of ADPKD as well as those with more atypical cystic kidney appearances. Following allele identification, performing segregation analysis wherever possible remains vital so that we continue to learn about these important genetic causes of kidney failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) occurs in 1 in 500-4000 people worldwide. Genetic mutation is a biomarker for predicting renal dysfunction in patients with ADPKD. In this study, we performed a genetic analysis of Japanese patients with ADPKD to investigate the prognostic utility of genetic mutations in predicting renal function outcomes. METHODS Patients clinically diagnosed with ADPKD underwent a panel genetic test for germline mutations in PKD1 and PKD2. This study was conducted with the approval of the Ethics Committee of Juntendo University (no. 2019107). RESULTS Of 436 patients, 366 (83.9%) had genetic mutations. Notably, patients with PKD1 mutation had a significantly decreased ΔeGFR/year compared to patients with PKD2 mutation, indicating a progression of renal dysfunction (-3.50 vs. -2.04 mL/min/1.73 m2/year, p = 0.066). Furthermore, PKD1 truncated mutations had a significantly decreased ΔeGFR/year compared to PKD1 non-truncated mutations in the population aged over 65 years (-6.56 vs. -2.16 mL/min/1.73 m2/year, p = 0.049). Multivariate analysis showed that PKD1 mutation was a more significant risk factor than PKD2 mutation (odds ratio, 1.81; 95% confidence interval, 1.11-3.16; p = 0.020). CONCLUSIONS The analysis of germline mutations can predict renal prognosis in Japanese patients with ADPKD, and PKD1 mutation is a biomarker of ADPKD.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a disease characterized by a progressive kidney growth due to the development of cysts that lead to gradual destruction of the surrounding parenchyma. In the first stage, the estimated GFR will remain stable despite the reduction of the renal parenchyma because of an increase in glomerular hyperfiltration. The total kidney volume (TKV) measured with computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging is related to the future GFR decline. Thus, TKV has become an early marker to be analyzed in all patients with ADPKD. In addition, in recent years, it has been pointed out that kidney growth rate estimated with a single TKV measurement can be a clear prognostic marker for future glomerular filtration decline. However, there is no consensus on how to measure kidney volume growth in ADPKD, so each author has used different models that, not having the same meaning, have been handled as if they produced similar values. This may lead to erroneous estimates of kidney growth rate with the consequent prognostic error. The Mayo Clinic classification is now the most widely accepted prognostic model in clinical practice to predict patients who will deteriorate faster and to decide what patients should be treated with tolvaptan. However, some aspects of this model have not been discussed in depth. Our aim in this review was to present the models that can be used to estimate kidney volume growth rate in ADPKD, to facilitate their applicability in daily clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited disease of the kidney. It occurs in adulthood but is also rarely diagnosed in early childhood. The majority of the disease-causing variants observed in ADPKD patients are in two genes: PKD1 and PKD2. METHODS 237 patients from 198 families with a clinical diagnosis of ADPKD were screened for PKD1 and PKD2 genetic variants using Sanger sequencing and multiple ligation-dependent probe amplification analysis. RESULTS Disease-causing (diagnostic) variants were identified in 173 families (211 patients), 156 on PKD1 and 17 on PKD2. Variants of unknown significance were detected in 6 additional families, while no mutations were found in the remaining 19 families. Among the diagnostic variants detected, 51 were novel. In ten families, seven large rearrangements were found and the molecular breakpoints of 3 rearrangements were identified. Renal survival was significantly worse for PKD1-mutated patients, particularly those carrying truncating mutations. In patients with PKD1 truncating (PKD1-T) mutations, disease onset was significantly earlier than in patients with PKD1 non-truncating variants or PKD2-mutated patients. CONCLUSIONS Comprehensive genetic testing confirms its utility in diagnosing patients with ADPKD and contributes to explaining the clinical heterogeneity observed in this disease. Moreover, the genotype-phenotype correlation can allow for a more accurate disease prognosis.

Abstract
The clinical management of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) in adults has shifted from managing complications to delaying disease progression through newly emerging therapies. Regarding pediatric management of the disease, there are still specific hurdles related to the management of children and adolescents with ADPKD and, unlike adults, there are no specific therapies for pediatric ADPKD or stratification models to identify children and young adults at risk of rapid decline in kidney function. Therefore, early identification and management of factors that may modify disease progression, such as hypertension and obesity, are of most importance for young children with ADPKD. Many of these risk factors could promote disease progression in both ADPKD and chronic kidney disease. Hence, nephroprotective measures applied early in life can represent a window of opportunity to prevent the decline of the glomerular filtration rate especially in young patients with ADPKD. In this review, we highlight current challenges in the management of patients with pediatric ADPKD, the importance of early modifying factors in disease progression as well as the gaps and future perspectives in the pediatric ADPKD research field.

Feasibility of artificial intelligence-based decision supporting system in tolvaptan prescription for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Investig Clin Urol 2023; 64:255-264. [PMID: 37341005 DOI: 10.4111/icu.20220411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Revised: 03/12/2023] [Accepted: 03/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/22/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Total kidney volume (TKV) measurement is crucial for selecting treatment candidates in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). We developed and investigated the performance of fully-automated 3D-volumetry model and applied it to software as a service (SaaS) for clinical support on tolvaptan prescription in ADPKD patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Computed tomography scans of ADPKD patients taken between January 2000 and June 2022 were acquired from seven institutions. The quality of the images was manually reviewed in advance. The acquired dataset was split into training, validation, and test datasets at a ratio of 8.5:1:0.5. Convolutional, neural network-based automatic segmentation model was trained to obtain 3D segment mask for TKV measurement. The algorithm consisted of three steps: data preprocessing, ADPKD area extraction, and post-processing. After performance validation with the Dice score, 3D-volumetry model was applied to SaaS which is based on Mayo imaging classification for ADPKD. RESULTS A total of 753 cases with 95,117 slices were included. The differences between the ground-truth ADPKD kidney mask and the predicted ADPKD kidney mask were negligible, with intersection over union >0.95. The post-process filter successfully removed false alarms. The test-set performance was homogeneously equal and the Dice score of the model was 0.971; after post-processing, it improved to 0.979. The SaaS calculated TKV from uploaded Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine images and classified patients according to height-adjusted TKV for age. CONCLUSIONS Our artificial intelligence-3D volumetry model exhibited effective, feasible, and non-inferior performance compared with that of human experts and successfully predicted the rapid ADPKD progressor.

Abstract
This article describes the use of prognostic, predictive, and response biomarkers that have been developed for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and their use in clinical care or drug development. We focus on biochemical markers that can be assayed in patients' blood and urine and their association with the outcome of decreased glomerular filtration rate. There have been several studies on prognostic biomarkers. The most promising ones have been markers of tubular injury, inflammation, metabolism, or the vasopressin-urinary concentration axis. So far, none have been shown to be superior to kidney volume-based biomarkers. Several biomarkers are additive to kidney volume and genotype in prognostic models, but there have been few direct comparisons between the biochemical markers to identify the best ones. Moreover, there is a lack of uniformity in the statistical tools used to assess and compare biomarkers. There have been few reports of predictive and response biomarkers, and none are suitable surrogate endpoints. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Biomarker Qualification Program provides a regulatory pathway to approve biomarkers for use across multiple drug-development programs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Height-adjusted total kidney volume (htTKV) measured by imaging defined as Mayo Imaging Class (MIC) is a validated prognostic measure for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) in adults to predict and stratify disease progression. However, no stratification tool is currently available in pediatric ADPKD. Because magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography in children are difficult, we propose a novel 3D ultrasound-based pediatric Leuven Imaging Classification to complement the MIC. METHODS A prospective study cohort of 74 patients with genotyped ADPKD (37 female) was followed longitudinally with ultrasound, including 3D ultrasound, and they underwent in total 247 3D ultrasound assessments, with patients' median age (interquartile range [IQR]) at diagnosis of 3 (IQR, 0-9) years and at first 3D ultrasound evaluation of 10 (IQR, 5-14) years. First, data matching was done to the published MIC classification, followed by subsequent optimization of parameters and model type. RESULTS PKD1 was confirmed in 70 patients (95%), PKD2 in three (4%), and glucosidase IIα unit only once (1%). Over these 247 evaluations, the median height was 143 (IQR, 122-166) cm and total kidney volume was 236 (IQR, 144-344) ml, leading to an htTKV of 161 (IQR, 117-208) ml/m. Applying the adult Mayo classification in children younger than 15 years strongly underestimated ADPKD severity, even with correction for height. We therefore optimized the model with our pediatric data and eventually validated it with data of young patients from Mayo Clinic and the Consortium for Radiologic Imaging Studies of Polycystic Kidney Disease used to establish the MIC. CONCLUSIONS We proposed a five-level Leuven Imaging Classification ADPKD pediatric model as a novel classification tool on the basis of patients' age and 3D ultrasound-htTKV for reliable discrimination of childhood ADPKD severity.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a hereditary disorder characterized by relentless growth of innumerable renal cysts bilaterally, associated with decline in glomerular filtration rate over the course of decades. The burden of ADPKD and its treatment is associated with a significant economic and societal cost. Despite several clinical studies conducted over the past decade, only one treatment has been approved by regulatory agencies to slow disease progression in ADPKD. Elucidating feasible endpoints and clear regulatory pathway may stimulate interest in developing and translating novel therapeutics. This review summarizes the recent progress, challenges, and opportunities in drug development for ADPKD. We discuss the traditional and accelerated regulatory approval pathways, the various clinical trials endpoints, and biomarkers in ADPKD. Furthermore, we propose strategies that could optimize the clinical trial design in ADPKD. Finally, we owe it to our ADPKD patient community to strive for international collaborative studies geared toward discovery and validation of surrogate endpoints and to rally for funded infrastructure that would allow phase 3 master protocols in ADPKD. These advances will serve to derisk and potentially accelerate the development of therapies and eventually bring hope to patients and families who endure through this devastating disease.

Abstract
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has publicly recognized the importance of improving drug development efficiency, deeming translational biomarkers a top priority. The use of imaging biomarkers has been associated with increased rates of drug approvals. An appropriate level of validation provides a pragmatic way to choose and implement these biomarkers. Standardizing imaging modality selection, data acquisition protocols, and image analysis (in ways that are agnostic to equipment and algorithms) have been key to imaging biomarker deployment. The best known examples come from studies done via precompetitive collaboration efforts, which enable input from multiple stakeholders and data sharing. Digital health technologies (DHTs) provide an opportunity to measure meaningful aspects of patient health, including patient function, for extended periods of time outside of the hospital walls, with objective, sensor-based measures. We identified the areas where learnings from the imaging biomarker field can accelerate the adoption and widespread use of DHTs to develop novel treatments. As with imaging, technical validation parameters and performance acceptance thresholds need to be established. Approaches amenable to multiple hardware options and data processing algorithms can be enabled by sharing DHT data and by cross-validating algorithms. Data standardization and creation of shared databases will be vital. Pre-competitive consortia (public-private partnerships and professional societies that bring together all stakeholders, including patient organizations, industry, academic experts, and regulators) will advance the regulatory maturity of DHTs in clinical trials.

Abstract
Background Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common renal monogenic disease, characterized by bilateral accumulation of renal fluid-filled cysts leading to progressive renal volume enlargement and gradual impairment of kidney function, often resulting in end-stage renal disease. Kuwait could provide valuable genetic insights about ADPKD, including intrafamilial phenotypic variation, given its large household size. This study aims to provide a comprehensive description of the pathogenic variants linked to ADPKD in the Kuwaiti population using multiple genetic analysis modalities and to describe and analyse the ADPKD phenotypic spectrum in terms of kidney function, kidney volume and renal survival. Methods A total of 126 ADPKD patients from 11 multiplex families and 25 singletons were recruited into the study. A combination of targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS), long-range polymerase chain reaction, Sanger sequencing and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification were utilized for genetic diagnosis. Clinical evaluation was conducted through renal function testing and ultrasonographic kidney volume analysis. Results We identified 29 ADPKD pathogenic mutations from 36 families achieving an overall molecular genetic diagnostic rate of 112/126 (88.9%), including 29/36 (80.6%) in families. A total of 28/36 (77.8%) families had pathogenic mutations in PKD1, of which 17/28 (60.7%) were truncating, and 1/36 (2.8%) had a pathogenic variant in the IFT140 gene. A total of 20/29 (69%) of the identified ADPKD mutations were novel and described for the first time, including a TSC2-PKD1 contiguous syndrome. Clinical analysis indicated that genetically unresolved ADPKD cases had no apparent association between kidney volume and age. Conclusion We describe for the first time the genetic landscape of ADPKD in Kuwait. The observed genetic heterogeneity underlining ADPKD along with the wide phenotypic spectrum reveal the level of complexity in disease pathophysiology. ADPKD genetic testing could improve the care of patients through improved disease prognostication, guided treatment and genetic counselling. However, to fulfil the potential of genetic testing, it is important to overcome the hurdle of genetically unresolved ADPKD cases.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a main cause of end-stage renal disease. Today, knowledge of its genetic basis has made it possible to develop strategies that prevent the transmission of the disease. OBJECTIVES The objective of the study was to analyze the natural history of ADPKD in the province of Córdoba and to design a database that allows grouping families with different mutations. PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients (n = 678) diagnosed with ADPKD followed by the Córdoba nephrology service are included. Various clinical variables (age and sex), genetic variables (mutation in PKD1, PKD2) and the need for renal replacement therapy (RRT) were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS The prevalence was 61 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. Median renal survival was significantly worse in PKD1 (57.5 years) than in PKD2 (70 years) (log-rank p = 0.000). We have genetically identified 43.8% of the population, detecting PKD1 mutations in 61.2% and PKD2 mutations in 37.4% of cases, respectively. The most frequent mutation, in PKD2 (c.2159del), appeared in 68 patients belonging to 10 different families. The one with the worst renal prognosis was a truncating mutation in PKD1 (c.9893 G > A). These patients required RRT at a median age of 38.7 years. CONCLUSIONS Renal survival of ADPKD in the province of Córdoba is similar to that described in the literature. We detected PKD2 mutations in 37.4% of cases. This strategy allows us to know the genetic basis of a large proportion of our population while saving resources. This is essential to be able to offer primary prevention of ADPKD through preimplantation genetic diagnosis.

Abstract
Background Imaging-based total kidney volume (TKV) and total liver volume (TLV) are major prognostic factors in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and end points for clinical trials. However, volumetry is time consuming and reader dependent in clinical practice. Our aim was to develop a fully automated method for joint kidney and liver segmentation in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to evaluate its performance in a multisequence, multicenter setting. Methods The convolutional neural network was trained on a large multicenter dataset consisting of 992 MRI scans of 327 patients. Manual segmentation delivered ground-truth labels. The model's performance was evaluated in a separate test dataset of 93 patients (350 MRI scans) as well as a heterogeneous external dataset of 831 MRI scans from 323 patients. Results The segmentation model yielded excellent performance, achieving a median per study Dice coefficient of 0.92-0.97 for the kidneys and 0.96 for the liver. Automatically computed TKV correlated highly with manual measurements (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC]: 0.996-0.999) with low bias and high precision (-0.2%±4% for axial images and 0.5%±4% for coronal images). TLV estimation showed an ICC of 0.999 and bias/precision of -0.5%±3%. For the external dataset, the automated TKV demonstrated bias and precision of -1%±7%. Conclusions Our deep learning model enabled accurate segmentation of kidneys and liver and objective assessment of TKV and TLV. Importantly, this approach was validated with axial and coronal MRI scans from 40 different scanners, making implementation in clinical routine care feasible.Clinical Trial registry name and registration number: The German ADPKD Tolvaptan Treatment Registry (AD[H]PKD), NCT02497521.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is part of a spectrum of inherited diseases that also includes autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease, autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease, and an expanding group of recessively inherited disorders collectively termed hepatorenal fibrocystic disorders. ADPKD is the most common monogenic disorder frequently leading to chronic kidney failure with an estimated prevalence of 12 million people worldwide. Currently, only one drug (tolvaptan) has been approved by regulatory agencies as disease-modifying therapy for ADPKD, but, given its mechanism of action and side effect profile, the need for an improved therapy for ADPKD remains a priority. Although significant regulatory progress has been made, with qualification of total kidney volume as a prognostic enrichment biomarker and its later designation as a reasonably likely surrogate endpoint for progression of ADPKD within clinical trials, further work is needed to accelerate drug development efforts for all forms of PKD. In May 2021, the PKD Outcomes Consortium at the Critical Path Institute and the PKD Foundation organized a PKD Regulatory Summit to spur conversations among patients, industry, academic, and regulatory stakeholders regarding future development of tools and drugs for ADPKD and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease. This Special Report reviews the key points discussed during the summit and provides future direction related to PKD drug development tools.

Abstract
Rationale & Objective Understanding potential differences in patterns of kidney failure among patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) may provide insights into improving disease management. We sought to characterize patients with ADPKD and kidney failure across different race/ethnicities. Study Design Cross-sectional study. Setting & Participants Kaiser Permanente Southern California members diagnosed with ADPKD between January1, 2002, and December 31, 2018. Exposure ADPKD. Outcome Kidney failure, dialysis, or receipt of kidney transplant. Analytical Approach Differences in characteristics by race/ethnicity were assessed using analysis of variance F test and χ2 test. To compare the range and distribution of the average age at onset of kidney failure by race/ethnicity and sex, we used box plots and confidence intervals. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate OR for kidney transplant. Results Among 3,677 ADPKD patients, 1,027 (27.3%) had kidney failure. The kidney failure cohort was comprised of Black (n=138; 30.7%), White (n=496; 30.6%), Hispanic (n=306; 24.7%), and Asian (n=87; 23.6%) patients. Hispanic patients had the youngest mean age of kidney failure onset (50 years) compared to Black (56 years) and White (57 years) patients. Black (44.2%; OR, 0.72) and Hispanic (49.7%; OR, 0.65) patients had lower rates of kidney transplantation compared to White (53.8%) patients. Preemptive kidney transplantations occurred in 15.0% of patients. Limitations Retrospective study design and possible misclassification of ADPKD cases. Kidney function calculations were based on equations incorporating race, potentially overestimating kidney function in African Americans. The study was conducted within a single, integrated health care system in 1 geographic region and may not be generalizable to all ADPKD patients. Conclusions Among a large diverse ADPKD population, we observed racial/ethnic differences in rates of kidney failure, age of kidney failure onset, and rates of kidney transplantation. Our real-world ADPKD cohort provides insight into racial/ethnic variation in clinical features of disease and potential disparities in care, which may affect ADPKD outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), one of the most common human monogenic diseases, is characterized by the presence of numerous fluid-filled renal cysts and is a leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Urinary biomarkers may be useful for predicting the variable course of ADPKD progression from cyst growth to ESRD. METHODS To identify candidate urinary biomarkers of ADPKD progression, we used CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to generate porcine fibroblasts with mono- and biallelic ADPKD gene knockout (PKD2+/- and PKD2-/-, respectively). We then performed RNA-sequencing analysis on these cells. RESULTS Levels of osteopontin (OPN), which is expressed by renal epithelial tubular cells and excreted into urine, were reduced in PKD2-/- cells but not in PKD2+/- cells. OPN levels were also reduced in the renal cyst cells of ADPKD patients. Next, we investigated whether OPN excretion was decreased in patients with ADPKD via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. OPN levels excreted into renal cyst cell culture media and urine from ADPKD patients were decreased. To investigate whether OPN can predict the rate of ADPKD progression, we compared urinary excretion of OPN in ADPKD patients with slow progression and those with rapid progression. Those with rapid progression had an estimated glomerular filtration rate of >60 mL/min/1.73 m2 . Urinary OPN excretion levels were lower in rapid progressors than in slow progressors. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that OPN is a useful urinary biomarker for predicting ADPKD progression.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by progressive cyst formation that ultimately leads to kidney failure in most patients. Approximately 10% of patients who receive kidney replacement therapy suffer from ADPKD. To date, a vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist (V2RA) is the only drug that has been proven to attenuate disease progression. However, aquaresis-related adverse events limit its widespread use. Data on the renoprotective effects of somatostatin analogues differ largely between studies and medications. This review discusses new drugs that are investigated in clinical trials to treat ADPKD, such as cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators and micro RNA inhibitors, and drugs already marketed for other indications that are being investigated for off-label use in ADPKD, such as metformin. In addition, potential methods to improve the tolerability of V2RAs are discussed, as well as methods to select patients with (likely) rapid disease progression and issues regarding the translation of preclinical data into clinical practice. Since ADPKD is a complex disease with a high degree of interindividual heterogeneity, and the mechanisms involved in cyst growth also have important functions in various physiological processes, it may prove difficult to develop drugs that target cyst growth without causing major adverse events. This is especially important since long-standing treatment is necessary in this chronic disease. This review therefore also discusses approaches to targeted therapy to minimize systemic side effects. Hopefully, these developments will advance the treatment of ADPKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) has phenotypic variability only partially explained by established biomarkers that do not readily assess pathologically important factors of inflammation and kidney fibrosis. We evaluated asymptomatic pyuria (AP), a surrogate marker of inflammation, as a biomarker for disease progression. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of adult patients with ADPKD. Patients were divided into AP and no pyuria (NP) groups. We evaluated the effect of pyuria on kidney function and kidney volume. Longitudinal models evaluating kidney function and kidney volume rate of change with respect to incidences of AP were created. RESULTS There were 687 included patients (347 AP, 340 NP). The AP group had more women (65% versus 49%). Median ages at kidney failure were 86 and 80 years in the NP and AP groups (log rank, P=0.49), respectively, for patients in Mayo Imaging Class (MIC) 1A-1B as compared with 59 and 55 years for patients in MIC 1C-1D-1E (log rank, P=0.02), respectively. Compared with the NP group, the rate of kidney function (ml/min per 1.73 m2 per year) decline shifted significantly after detection of AP in the models, including all patients (-1.48; P<0.001), patients in MIC 1A-1B (-1.79; P<0.001), patients in MIC 1C-1D-1E (-1.18; P<0.001), and patients with PKD1 (-1.04; P<0.001). Models evaluating kidney volume rate of growth showed no change after incidence of AP as compared with the NP group. CONCLUSIONS AP is associated with kidney failure and faster kidney function decline irrespective of the ADPKD gene, cystic burden, and cystic growth. These results support AP as an enriching prognostic biomarker for the rate of disease progression.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common monogenetic hereditary renal disease, promoting end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is a consequence of an extra copy of the X chromosome in males. Main symptoms in KS include hypogonadism, tall stature, azoospermia, and a risk of cardiovascular diseases, among others. Gitelman syndrome (GS) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by SLC12A3 variants, and is associated with hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypocalciuria, normal or low blood pressure, and salt loss. The three disorders have distinct and well-delineated clinical, biochemical, and genetic findings. We here report a male patient with ADPKD who developed early chronic renal failure leading to ESRD, presenting with an intracranial aneurysm and infertility. NGS identified two de novo PKD1 variants, one known (likely pathogenic), and a previously unreported variant of uncertain significance, together with two SLC12A3 pathogenic variants. In addition, cytogenetic analysis showed a 47, XXY karyotype. We investigated the putative impact of this rare association by analyzing possible clinical, biochemical, and/or genetic interactions and by comparing the evolution of renal size and function in the proband with three age-matched ADPKD (by variants in PKD1) cohorts. We hypothesize that the coexistence of these three genetic disorders may act as modifiers with possible synergistic actions that could lead, in our patient, to a rapid ADPKD progression.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), characterized by progressive cyst formation/expansion, results in enlarged kidneys and often end stage kidney disease. ADPKD is genetically heterogeneous; PKD1 and PKD2 are the common loci (∼78% and ∼15% of families) and GANAB, DNAJB11, and ALG9 are minor genes. PKD is a ciliary-associated disease, a ciliopathy, and many syndromic ciliopathies have a PKD phenotype. In a multi-cohort/-site collaboration, we screened ADPKD-diagnosed families that were naive to genetic testing (n = 834) or for whom no PKD1 and PKD2 pathogenic variants had been identified (n = 381) with a PKD targeted next-generation sequencing panel (tNGS; n = 1,186) or whole-exome sequencing (WES; n = 29). We identified monoallelic IFT140 loss-of-function (LoF) variants in 12 multiplex families and 26 singletons (1.9% of naive families). IFT140 is a core component of the intraflagellar transport-complex A, responsible for retrograde ciliary trafficking and ciliary entry of membrane proteins; bi-allelic IFT140 variants cause the syndromic ciliopathy, short-rib thoracic dysplasia (SRTD9). The distinctive monoallelic phenotype is mild PKD with large cysts, limited kidney insufficiency, and few liver cysts. Analyses of the cystic kidney disease probands of Genomics England 100K showed that 2.1% had IFT140 LoF variants. Analysis of the UK Biobank cystic kidney disease group showed probands with IFT140 LoF variants as the third most common group, after PKD1 and PKD2. The proximity of IFT140 to PKD1 (∼0.5 Mb) in 16p13.3 can cause diagnostic confusion, and PKD1 variants could modify the IFT140 phenotype. Importantly, our studies link a ciliary structural protein to the ADPKD spectrum.

Abstract
Background Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common genetic kidney disease and shows a wide phenotype. Only patients with rapid progression (RP) are included in clinical trials or are approved to receive disease-modifying drugs. This study aims at comparing different available predictive tools in ADPKD with the Mayo classification (MC) identification of rapid progressors based on high total kidney volume (TKV) according to age. Methods A total of 164 ADPKD patients were recruited retrospectively from a single centre. The performance of diverse tools to identify RP defined as being in MC categories 1C–1E was assessed. Results A total of 118 patients were MC 1C–1E. The algorithm developed by the European Renal Association–European Dialysis and Transplant Association Working Group on Inherited Kidney Disorders/European Renal Best Practice had a low sensitivity in identifying MC 1C–1E. The sensitivity and specificity of TKV to predict RP depend on the cut-off used. A kidney length of >16.5 cm before age 45 years has high specificity but low sensitivity. Assessing the MC by ultrasonography had high levels of agreement with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data, especially for 1A, 1D and 1E. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline was very sensitive but had low specificity. In contrast, the Predicting Renal Outcome in Polycystic Kidney Disease (PROPKD) score was very specific but had poor sensitivity. Having hypertension before 35 years of age is a good clinical predictor of MC 1C–1E. Family history can be of help in suggesting RP, but by itself it lacks sufficient sensitivity and specificity. Conclusions The MC by ultrasonography could be an option in hospitals with limited access to MRI as it performs well generally, and especially at the extremes of the MC, i.e. classes 1A, 1D and 1E. The eGFR decline is sensitive but not very specific when compared with the MC, whereas the PROPKD score is very specific but has low sensitivity. Integrating the different tools currently available to determine RP should facilitate the identification of rapid progressors among patients with ADPKD.

Abstract
Approval of the vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist tolvaptan—based on the landmark TEMPO 3:4 trial—marked a transformation in the management of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). This development has advanced patient care in ADPKD from general measures to prevent progression of chronic kidney disease to targeting disease-specific mechanisms. However, considering the long-term nature of this treatment, as well as potential side effects, evidence-based approaches to initiate treatment only in patients with rapidly progressing disease are crucial. In 2016, the position statement issued by the European Renal Association (ERA) was the first society-based recommendation on the use of tolvaptan and has served as a widely used decision-making tool for nephrologists. Since then, considerable practical experience regarding the use of tolvaptan in ADPKD has accumulated. More importantly, additional data from REPRISE, a second randomized clinical trial (RCT) examining the use of tolvaptan in later-stage disease, have added important evidence to the field, as have post hoc studies of these RCTs. To incorporate this new knowledge, we provide an updated algorithm to guide patient selection for treatment with tolvaptan and add practical advice for its use.

Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE The etiology of kidney disease remains unknown in many individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We created the Mayo Clinic Nephrology Genomics Clinic to improve our ability to integrate genomic and clinical data to identify the etiology of unexplained CKD. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS An essential component of our program is the Nephrology Genomics Board which consists of nephrologists, geneticists, pathologists, translational omics scientists, and trainees who interpret the patient's clinical and genetic data. Since September 2016, the Board has reviewed 163 cases (15 cystic, 100 glomerular, 6 congenital anomalies of kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT), 20 stones, 15 tubulointerstitial, and 13 other). ANALYTICAL APPROACH Testing was performed with targeted panels, single gene analysis, or analysis of kidney-related genes from exome sequencing. Variant classification was obtained based on the 2015 American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and the Association for Molecular Pathology guidelines. RESULTS A definitive genetic diagnosis was achieved for 50 families (30.7%). The highest diagnostic yield was obtained in individuals with tubulointerstitial diseases (53.3%), followed by congenital anomalies of the kidney and urological tract (33.3%), glomerular (31%), cysts (26.7%), stones (25%), and others (15.4%). A further 20 (12.3%) patients had variants of interest, and variant segregation, and research activities (exome, genome, or transcriptome sequencing) are ongoing for 44 (40%) unresolved families. LIMITATIONS Possible overestimation of diagnostic rate due to inclusion of individuals with variants with evidence of pathogenicity but classified as of uncertain significance by the clinical laboratory. CONCLUSIONS Integration of genomic and research testing and multidisciplinary evaluation in a nephrology cohort with CKD of unknown etiology or suspected monogenic disease provided a diagnosis in a third of families. These diagnoses had prognostic implications, and often changes in management were implemented.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), primarily due to PKD1 or PKD2 mutations, causes progressive kidney cyst development and kidney failure. There is significant intrafamilial variability likely due to the genetic background and environmental/lifestyle factors; variability that can be modeled in PKD mice. Here, we characterized mice homozygous for the PKD1 hypomorphic allele, p.Arg3277Cys (Pkd1RC/RC), inbred into the BALB/cJ (BC) or the 129S6/SvEvTac (129) strains, plus F1 progeny bred with the previously characterized C57BL/6J (B6) model; F1(BC/B6) or F1(129/B6). By one-month cystic disease in both the BC and 129 Pkd1RC/RC mice was more severe than in B6 and continued with more rapid progression to six to nine months. Thereafter, the expansive disease stage plateaued/declined, coinciding with increased fibrosis and a clear decline in kidney function. Greater severity correlated with more inter-animal and inter-kidney disease variability, especially in the 129-line. Both F1 combinations had intermediate disease severity, more similar to B6 but progressive from one-month of age. Mild biliary dysgenesis, and an early switch from proximal tubule to collecting duct cysts, was seen in all backgrounds. Preclinical testing with a positive control, tolvaptan, employed the F1(129/B6)-Pkd1RC/RC line, which has moderately progressive disease and limited isogenic variability. Magnetic resonance imaging was utilized to randomize animals and provide total kidney volume endpoints; complementing more traditional data. Thus, we show how genetic background can tailor the Pkd1RC/RC model to address different aspects of pathogenesis and disease modification, and describe a possible standardized protocol for preclinical testing.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited cause of kidney failure, accounting for 5%-10% of cases. Predicting which patients with ADPKD will progress rapidly to kidney failure is critical to assess the risk-benefit ratio of any intervention and to consider early initiation of long-term kidney protective measures that will maximize the cumulative benefit of slowing disease progression. Surrogate prognostic biomarkers are required to predict future decline in kidney function. Clinical, genetic, environmental, epigenetic, and radiologic factors have been studied as predictors of progression to kidney failure in ADPKD. A complex interaction of these prognostic factors determines the number of kidney cysts and their growth rates, which affect total kidney volume (TKV). Age-adjusted TKV, represented by the Mayo imaging classification, estimates each patient's unique rate of kidney growth and provides the most individualized approach available clinically so far. Tolvaptan has been approved to slow disease progression in patients at risk of rapidly progressive disease. Several other disease-modifying treatments are being studied in clinical trials. Selection criteria for patients at risk of rapid progression vary widely among countries and are based on a combination of age, baseline glomerular filtration rate (GFR), GFR slope, baseline TKV, and TKV rate of growth. This review details the approach in assessing the risk of disease progression in ADPKD and identifying patients who would benefit from long-term therapy with disease-modifying agents.

Abstract
Introduction Cystic expansion damaging the parenchyma is thought to lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Here we characterized genotypic and phenotypic attributes of ADPKD at time of ESKD. Methods This is a retrospective cross-sectional study of patients with ADPKD with ESKD evaluated at Mayo Clinic with available abdominal computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Kidney volumes were measured (total kidney volume adjusted for height [HtTKV]), Mayo Image Class (MIC) calculated, ADPKD genotype determined, and clinical and laboratory features obtained from medical records. Results Differences in HtTKV at ESKD were associated with patient age and sex; older patients and women had smaller HtTKV at ESKD. HtTKV at ESKD was observed to be 12.3% smaller with each decade of age (P < 0.01); but significant only in women (17.8%, P < 0.01; men 6.9%, P = 0.06). Patients with onset of ESKD at <47, 47–61, or >61 years had different characteristics, with a shift from youngest to oldest in male to female enrichment, MIC from 1D/1E to 1B/1C, likely fully penetrant PKD1 mutations from 95% to 42%, and presence of macrovascular disease from 8% to 40%. Macrovascular disease was associated with smaller kidneys in female patients. Conclusion HtTKV at ESKD was smaller with advancing age in patients with ADPKD, particularly in women. These novel findings provide insight into possible underlying mechanisms leading to ESKD, which differ between younger and older individuals. Cystic growth is the predominant mechanism in younger patients with ESKD, whereas aging-related factors, including vascular disease, becomes potentially important as patients age.
