A Perihilar Variant of Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Due to De novo Branchio-oto-renal Syndrome.

ABSTRACT: Branchio-oto-renal syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by branchial anomalies, hearing loss, and renal urinary tract malformations. We herein report a 32-year-old Japanese man with a right preauricular pit, bilateral mixed hearing loss, and malposition of the right kidney who presented with proteinuria. The findings of a left kidney biopsy were compatible with a perihilar variant of secondary focal segmental glomerular sclerosis. A trio exome analysis conducted among the patient and his parents failed to identify the causal gene variant, despite a sporadic pattern. His kidney function remained stable for 11 years with an angiotensin II receptor blocker.

Project description:Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a leading cause of kidney disease worldwide. The presumed etiology of primary FSGS is a plasma factor with responsiveness to immunosuppressive therapy and a risk of recurrence after kidney transplant-important disease characteristics. In contrast, adaptive FSGS is associated with excessive nephron workload due to increased body size, reduced nephron capacity, or single glomerular hyperfiltration associated with certain diseases. Additional etiologies are now recognized as drivers of FSGS: high-penetrance genetic FSGS due to mutations in one of nearly 40 genes, virus-associated FSGS, and medication-associated FSGS. Emerging data support the identification of a sixth category: APOL1 risk allele-associated FSGS in individuals with sub-Saharan ancestry. The classification of a particular patient with FSGS relies on integration of findings from clinical history, laboratory testing, kidney biopsy, and in some patients, genetic testing. The kidney biopsy can be helpful, with clues provided by features on light microscopy (e.g, glomerular size, histologic variant of FSGS, microcystic tubular changes, and tubular hypertrophy), immunofluorescence (e.g, to rule out other primary glomerulopathies), and electron microscopy (e.g., extent of podocyte foot process effacement, podocyte microvillous transformation, and tubuloreticular inclusions). A complete assessment of renal histology is important for establishing the parenchymal setting of segmental glomerulosclerosis, distinguishing FSGS associated with one of many other glomerular diseases from the clinical-pathologic syndrome of FSGS. Genetic testing is beneficial in particular clinical settings. Identifying the etiology of FSGS guides selection of therapy and provides prognostic insight. Much progress has been made in our understanding of FSGS, but important outstanding issues remain, including the identity of the plasma factor believed to be responsible for primary FSGS, the value of routine implementation of genetic testing, and the identification of more effective and less toxic therapeutic interventions for FSGS.
