Abstract
OBJECTIVE The clinical characteristics, genetic mutation spectrum, treatment strategies and prognoses of 15 children with Dent disease were retrospectively analyzed to improve pediatricians' awareness of and attention to this disease. METHODS We analyzed the clinical and laboratory data of 15 Chinese children with Dent disease who were diagnosed and treated at our hospital between January 2017 and May 2023 and evaluated the expression of the CLCN5 and OCRL1 genes. RESULTS All 15 patients were male and complained of proteinuria, and the incidence of low-molecular-weight proteinuria (LMWP) was 100.0% in both Dent disease 1 (DD1) and Dent disease 2 (DD2) patients. The incidence of hypercalciuria was 58.3% (7/12) and 66.7% (2/3) in DD1 and DD2 patients, respectively. Nephrocalcinosis and nephrolithiasis were found in 16.7% (2/12) and 8.3% (1/12) of DD1 patients, respectively. Renal biopsy revealed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) in 1 patient, minimal change lesion in 5 patients, and small focal acute tubular injury in 1 patient. A total of 11 mutations in the CLCN5 gene were detected, including 3 missense mutations (25.0%, c.1756C > T, c.1166T > G, and c.1618G > A), 5 frameshift mutations (41.7%, c.407delT, c.1702_c.1703insC, c.137delC, c.665_666delGGinsC, and c.2200delG), and 3 nonsense mutations (25.0%, c.776G > A, c.1609C > T, and c.1152G > A). There was no significant difference in age or clinical phenotype among patients with different mutation types (p > 0.05). All three mutations in the OCRL1 gene were missense mutations (c.1477C > T, c.952C > T, and c.198A > G). CONCLUSION Pediatric Dent disease is often misdiagnosed. Protein electrophoresis and genetic testing can help to provide an early and correct diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The majority of cases of Dent's disease are caused by pathogenic variants in the CLCN5 gene, which encodes a voltage-gated chloride ion channel (ClC-5), resulting in proximal tubular dysfunction. We present three members of the same family and one unrelated paediatric patient with the same insertion-deletion CLCN5 variant. The identification of these patients and positive familial segregation led to the re-classification of this variant from one of unknown significance to one of likely pathogenicity. CASE PRESENTATION A 41 year old male presented with end stage kidney failure, proteinuria and haematuria. Whole genome sequencing identified an insertion-deletion variant in CLCN5, resulting in a missense change (c.1744_1745delinsAA p.(Ala582Lys)). His brother and nephew, who both exhibited renal impairment, haematuria, proteinuria, glycosuria and nephrocalcinosis, were found to have the same variant. In addition, genetic testing of an unrelated paediatric patient who presented with proteinuria and hypercalciuria, demonstrated the same variant. CONCLUSIONS The identification of this novel variant in four individuals with features of Dent's disease, has led to the re-classification of the variant to one of likely pathogenicity. As a result, our patients and any future patients with the same variant can be offered a likely diagnosis, without the need for kidney biopsy, and their family members can be offered genetic screening.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dent's disease is an X-linked inherited renal tubular disorder characterized by proteinuria, hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis, nephrolithiasis, rickets, and end-stage renal disease. Almost 60% of patients have causative mutations in the CLCN5 gene (Dent 1), and 15% of affected individuals have mutations in the OCRL1 gene (Dent 2). The aims of this study are to identify CLCN5 mutations in Iranian families with Dent's disease and to characterize the associated clinical syndromes. METHODS We studied 14 patients from 13 unrelated Iranian families with a clinical diagnosis of Dent's disease. Proteinuria was detected in all patients. Nephrolithiasis was found in 5 patient, and hematuria in 2 patients. Most of the affected individuals had nephrocalcinosis. PCR-sequencing for the CLCN5 gene was performed in all 14 patients. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has also been performed in one patient who we did not find causative mutation. RESULTS We identified four different CLCN5 mutations including one missense mutation (c.731C>T), one nonsense mutation (c.100C>T), and two novel mutations, consisting of one frameshift mutation (c.1241_1242dupAA) and one splicing mutation (c.805-2A>G). We also identified one OCRL1 mutation, one splicing mutation (c.1466 + 1G>A), using NGS. CONCLUSION This is the first report to characterize mutations in the CLCN5 gene in Iranian patients with Dent's disease and expands the spectrum of CLCN5 mutations by reporting two novel mutations, c.1241_1242dupAA and c.805-2A>G.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dent disease is a rare tubulopathy characterized by manifestations of proximal tubular dysfunction, which occurs almost exclusively in males. It mainly presents symptoms in early childhood and may progress to end-stage renal failure between the 3rd and 5th decades of human life. According to its various genetic basis and to clinical signs and symptoms, researchers define two forms of Dent disease (Dent diseases 1 and 2) and suggest that these forms are produced by mutations in the CLCN5 and OCRL genes, respectively. Dent diseases 1 and 2 account for 60% and 15% of all Dent disease cases, and their genetic cause is generally understood. However, the genetic cause of the remaining 25% of Dent disease cases remains unidentified. DATA SOURCES All relevant peer-reviewed original articles published thus far have been screened out from PubMed and have been referenced. RESULTS Genetic testing has been used greatly to identify mutation types of CLCN5 and OCRL gene, and next-generation sequencing also has been used to identify an increasing number of unknown genotypes. Gene therapy may bring new hope to the treatment of Dent disease. The abuse of hormones and immunosuppressive agents for the treatment of Dent disease should be avoided to prevent unnecessary harm to children. CONCLUSIONS The current research progress in classification, genetic heterogeneity, diagnosis, and treatment of Dent disease reviewed in this paper enables doctors and researchers to better understand Dent disease and provides a basis for improved prevention and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dent disease is a rare X-linked recessive proximal tubulopathy caused by mutations in CLCN5 (Dent-1) or OCRL (Dent-2). As a rule, total protein excretion (TPE) is low in tubular proteinuria compared with glomerular disease. Several authors have reported nephrotic-range proteinuria (NP) and glomerulosclerosis in Dent disease. Therefore, we aimed to analyze protein excretion in patients with documented CLCN5 or OCRL mutations in a systematic literature review. DESIGN PubMed and Embase were searched for cases with documented CLCN5 or OCRL mutations and (semi-)quantitative data on protein excretion. The most reliable data (i.e., TPE > protein-creatinine ratio > Albustix) was used for NP classification. RESULTS Data were available on 148 patients from 47 reports: 126 had a CLCN5 and 22 an OCRLmutation. TPE was not significantly different between both forms (p = 0.11). Fifty-five of 126 (43.7 %) Dent-1 vs 13/22 (59.1 %) Dent-2 patients met the definition of NP (p = 0.25). Serum albumin was normal in all reported cases (24/148). Glomerulosclerosis was noted in 20/32 kidney biopsies and was strongly related to tubulointerstitial fibrosis, but not to kidney function or proteinuria. CONCLUSION More than half of the patients with both forms of Dent disease have NP, and the presence of low molecular weight proteinuria in a patient with NP in the absence of edema and hypoalbuminemia should prompt genetic testing. Even with normal renal function, glomerulosclerosis and tubulointerstitial fibrosis are present in Dent disease. The role of proteinuria in the course of the disease needs to be examined further in longitudinal studies.

Abstract
Dent-2 disease is an X-linked renal tubulopathy associated with mutations in OCRL gene. It is characterized by low-molecular weight proteinuria, hypercalciuria, nephrolithiasis/nephrocalcinosis and progressive renal failure. Patients may have some extra-renal symptoms of Lowe syndrome, such as peripheral cataracts, mental impairment, stunted growth or elevation of creatine kinase/lactate dehydrogenase. Our patient was suspected to suffer from Dent disease at 8 months of age because of proteinuria and hypercalciuria. He had no prominent extra-renal symptoms. OCRL mutation in exon 1 (c.217_218 del TT p.L73F, fs X1) was found. He was treated with amiloride+hydroclorthiazide and citrate with good results in reducing calciuria. His renal ultrasound, ophthalmologic and cardiologic examinations, mental development and other laboratory findings are normal till date.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical features and gene mutations of 6 Chinese children with Dent's disease. METHOD The clinical and laboratory data of 6 children with Dent's disease were summarized. CLCN5 gene was analyzed using PCR amplification and DNA sequencing. RESULT All the six patients presented with low molecular weight proteinuria and hypercalciuria, including 3/6 hematuria, 4/6 nephrocalcinosis, 3/6 hypophosphatemia, 1/6 rickets. Six mutations of the CLCN5 gene were revealed, including L594fsX595, R637X, R467X, IVS4-2A > G, S244L and V505G. The mutation L594fsX595, IVS4-2A > G and V505G was never reported before. CONCLUSION Low molecular weight proteinuria and hypercalciuria were the main clinical features of the six Chinese boys with Dent's disease. Dent's disease could be associated with a Bartter-like syndrome, which make the gene diagnosis more important.
