Abstract
To detect potential variants in eight Chinese pedigrees affected with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and provide prenatal diagnosis for two of them. Whole exome sequencing and high-throughput sequencing were carried out to detect variants of PKD1 and PKD2 genes in the probands. Sanger sequencing was used to validate the variants, and their pathogenicity was predicted by searching the ADPKD and protein variation databases. Eight PKD1 variants were detected, which have included five nonsense mutations and three missense mutations. Among these, four nonsense variants (PKD1: c.7555C>T, c.7288C>T, c.4957C>T, c.11423G>A) were known to be pathogenic, whilst one missense variant (PKD1: c.2180T>G) was classified as likely pathogenic. Three novel variants were detected, which included c.6781G>T (p.Glu2261*), c.109T>G (p.Cys37Gly) and c.8495A>G (p.Asn2832Ser). Prenatal testing showed that the fetus of one family has carried the same mutation as the proband, while the fetus of another family did not. PKD1 variants, including three novel variants, have been identified in the eight pedigrees affected with ADPKD. Based on these results, prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling have been provided.
