Abstract
Autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease (ADTKD) is a rare autosomal dominant hereditary disorder characterized by hyperuricemia, gout, impaired urinary concentration, and progressive renal failure. It is primarily caused by mutations in uromodulin (UMOD) gene. This study reports a family with ADTKD in which whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing identified a missense mutation in the UMOD gene, c.761A>C (p.H254P), present in both the proband and affected relatives. According to American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guidelines, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic. The mutation results in an amino acid substitution that may impair UMOD protein folding and intracellular trafficking. UMOD gene mutations are associated with ADTKD, and genetic testing plays a vital role in the early diagnosis and treatment of this condition, highlighting its importance in the diagnosis of rare kidney diseases.
