    Abstract Nephronophthisis (NPHP) is a childhood cystic kidney disease, which almost invariably leads to end-stage renal disease in those affected. Recognition and diagnosis requires clinical suspicion, biochemical evaluation, renal imaging and historically, renal biopsy. Modern molecular genetics now allows a diagnosis to be made in a significant proportion of cases. Mutations in NPHP1 account for 20% of cases, but the disease is genetically heterogeneous with at least 20 different genes associated with NPHP. Recent developments in the fields of genetics and proteomics have led to increased understanding of the underlying pathogenetic defects. Almost all NPHP genes encode proteins, which localize to the primary cilia, basal body and centrosome. NPHP is a therefore considered to be a ciliopathy, and can be part of a broad spectrum of clinical disease that includes extra-renal manifestations including retinal degeneration, cerebellar ataxia, liver fibrosis and situs inversus. In this review, we discuss the historical descriptions of NPHP in the context of more recent developments in our understanding of this disease.

    Abstract Nephronophthisis (NPHP) is an autosomal recessive cystic kidney disease and the most frequent genetic cause of end-stage renal disease up to the third decade of life. It is caused by mutations in 11 different genes, denoted nephrocystins (NPHP1-11, NPHP1L). As an increasing number of these genes are identified, our knowledge of nephronophthisis is changing, thereby improving our understanding of the pathomechanisms in NPHP. Recent publications have described ciliary expression of nephrocystins together with other cystoproteins, such as polycystins 1 and 2 and fibrocystin. These findings have shifted our focus to a pathomechanism involving defects in ciliary function (ciliopathy) and planar cell polarity (PCP). In addition, discoveries of new nephrocystin genes have shown that the disease spectrum of NPHP is much broader than previously anticipated. Different forms of mutations within the same NPHP gene can cause different disease severity. In this review, we highlight the different hypotheses on the pathomechanisms for NPHP and underline the clinical variability of this disease. The clinical spectrum has become even more complex with the possibility of oligogenicity in NPHP.

    Abstract Nephronophthisis (NPHP) is an autosomal recessive kidney disorder characterized by chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis and leading to end-stage renal failure. NPHP as a renal entity is often part of a multisystem disorder and has been associated with many syndromes including Joubert syndrome (and related disorders) and Senior-Loken syndrome. Recent molecular genetic advances have allowed identification of several genes underlying NPHP. Most of these genes express their protein products, named nephrocystins, in primary cilial/basal body structures. Some nephrocystins are part of adherens junction and focal adhesion kinase protein complexes. This shared localization suggests that common pathogenic mechanisms within the kidney underlie this disease. Functional studies implicate nephrocystins in planar cell polarity pathways, which may be crucial for renal development and maintenance of tubular architecture.

    Abstract Nephronophthisis (NPH) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by a chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis that progress to terminal renal failure during the second decade (juvenile form) or before the age of 5 years (infantile form). In the juvenile form, a urine concentration defect starts during the first decade, and a progressive deterioration of renal function is observed in the following years. Kidney size may be normal, but loss of corticomedullary differentiation is often observed, and cysts occur usually after patients have progressed to end-stage renal failure. Histologic lesions are characterized by tubular basement membrane anomalies, tubular atrophy, and interstitial fibrosis. The infantile form is characterized by cortical microcysts and progression to end-stage renal failure before 5 years of age. Some children present with extrarenal symptoms: retinitis pigmentosa (Senior-Løken syndrome), mental retardation, cerebellar ataxia, bone anomalies, or liver fibrosis. Positional cloning and candidate gene approaches led to the identification of eight causative genes (NPHP1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) responsible for the juvenile NPH and one gene NPHP2 for the infantile form. NPH and associated disorders are considered as ciliopathies, as all NPHP gene products are expressed in the primary cilia, similarly to the polycystic kidney disease (PKD) proteins.

    Abstract There has been tremendous progress in the past few years in understanding the molecular basis of nephronophthisis, and it is now evident that the disease is characterized by both clinical and genetic heterogeneity. Within the three different clinical forms there is a large spectrum of phenotypes, which have been associated, to date, with five gene defects. These genes encode proteins that localize in different cell compartments - in particular, to the primary apical cilia - as is the case for virtually all gene products involved in cystic kidney diseases. Two animal models with mutations in the mouse orthologs of the genes involved in the adolescent and infantile forms also exist. These models have been of considerable help in deciphering disease pathogenesis.

    Abstract Twenty-one patients with nephronophthisis are described with a follow-up of one to 16 years (mean 9.3 years). In 10 patients, there was a familial incidence. Autosomal recessive appears the likely mode of inheritance with a 20 per cent incidence noted (seven of 35) following correction for the bias of ascertainment by removing the probands. Seven patients had an associated and characteristic retinal degeneration from infancy. Associated neurologic problems, including mental retardation, seizures and cerebellar ataxis, were also seen in some patients. Previously described skeletal abnormalities and hepatic fibrosis were not seen in any of our patients. All presented at an advanced stage of chronic renal failure, usually associated with a history of polydipsia and polyuria from infancy. Renal cysts were noted in only one of the nine patients in whom tissue was obtained by needle biopsy. In seven patients in whom tissue was available at nephrectomy or autopsy, cysts were noted in six although only in two were they localized to the medulla. Eighteen patients have undergone dialysis, and 12 patients have received a renal transplant with no evidence of recurrence of the original disease. Sixteen patients are still alive. Many synonyms for nephronophthisis have appeared, with medullary cystic disease being the most common. Our experience suggests that nephronophthisis is a common cause of chronic renal failure and has commonly associated nonrenal abnormalities.
