    Abstract Multicystic dysplastic kidney is a rare congenital anomaly of the kidney and urinary tract. The association with the posterior urethral valve is also very rare. Here we present a patient with both entities and prenatal resolution of the cysts.A 10-week old baby was referred for nephrourological work up due to prenatal diagnosis of the left multicystic kidney. He had serial US scans during the pregnancy. Immediately before delivery the cysts were not seen (prenatal resolution). There were no extrarenal anomalies. The first postnatal ultrasound scan revealed normal sized right kidney without dilatation of the pelvicalyceal system. The bladder had normal thickness of the wall. Technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid scan showed no activity on the left side, and the right kidney appeared normal. At two months of age, a poor urinary steam was observed and additional urologic work up was indicated on clinical suspicion of PUV. Voiding urethrocystography revealed posterior urethral valve and the baby underwent cytoscopic valve resection.Conclusion: We present a rare association of two congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract with prenatal involution of the multicystic dysplastic kidney that is extremely rare event as seen in our case. Presence of posterior urethral valve must be suspected in a male baby with a poor urinary stream even when his ultrasound scan of urinary system appears normal.

    Abstract A 16-year-old girl with a history of nontraumatic swelling of both forearms, osteochondromas of the knees, heterotopic ossification of the neck and back, severe malformations of all digits with hypoplastic or absent nails, alopecia partialis of the scalp, and moderate cognitive impairment was seen for diagnostic evaluation. Whole exome sequencing identified an activating mutation of ACVR1 (c.983G > A; p.Gly328Glu) which confirmed a suspected FOP variant. The delayed diagnosis of an FOP variant in this patient could have been avoided if the significance of severe digital malformations had been recognized, especially in the setting of progressive heterotopic ossification.

    Abstract Background: Hypomethylation of the imprinting control region 1 (ICR 1) at the IGF2/H19 locus on 11p15 is linked to Silver-Russel syndrome (SRS).
    Methods and results: We tested the hypothesis that the severity of the phenotype in SRS patients is dependent on the clinical severity score (CSS) (1). Three SRS patients were clinically scored and their scores ranged between 12, 13 and 13. Two of the three SRS patients (66%) had hypomethylation of one allele.
    Conclusion: All three patients had high CSS. Nevertheless, only two of them had hypomethylation of one H19 allele. Interestingly, two of them had ventricular septal defects, but only one had H19 hypomethylation. All children had low birth length and weight, a classic facial phenotype, haemihypertrophy (>2.5 cm thinner left arm/leg in comparison to the right one), shorter leg, and striking thinness (BMI of >16.0). One child was operated for cryptorchidismus, and the same child had elbow contracture. Two children had scoliosis. All three children were short (-3 to 5.5 SD), and treatment with GH resulted in growth on the third percentile. Since one child had no hypomethylation and two had a lower degree of hypomethylation, the higher CSS (12, 13 and 13) was not followed by a higher degree of hypomethylation of the IGF2/H19 locus.

    Abstract Although over 50 genes are known to cause renal malformation if mutated, the underlying genetic basis, most easily identified in syndromic cases, remains unsolved in most patients. In search of novel causative genes, whole-exome sequencing in a patient with renal, i.e., crossed fused renal ectopia, and extrarenal, i.e., skeletal, eye, and ear, malformations yielded a rare heterozygous variant in the GDF6 gene encoding growth differentiation factor 6, a member of the BMP family of ligands. Previously, GDF6 variants were reported to cause pleiotropic defects including skeletal, e.g., vertebral, carpal, tarsal fusions, and ocular, e.g., microphthalmia and coloboma, phenotypes. To assess the role of GDF6 in the pathogenesis of renal malformation, we performed targeted sequencing in 193 further patients identifying rare GDF6 variants in two cases with kidney hypodysplasia and extrarenal manifestations. During development, gdf6 was expressed in the pronephric tubule of Xenopus laevis, and Gdf6 expression was observed in the ureteric tree of the murine kidney by RNA in situ hybridization. CRISPR/Cas9-derived knockout of Gdf6 attenuated migration of murine IMCD3 cells, an effect rescued by expression of wild-type but not mutant GDF6, indicating affected variant function regarding a fundamental developmental process. Knockdown of gdf6 in Xenopus laevis resulted in impaired pronephros development. Altogether, we identified rare heterozygous GDF6 variants in 1.6% of all renal anomaly patients and 5.4% of renal anomaly patients additionally manifesting skeletal, ocular, or auricular abnormalities, adding renal hypodysplasia and fusion to the phenotype spectrum of GDF6 variant carriers and suggesting an involvement of GDF6 in nephrogenesis.

    Abstract Background: Proteinuria, in addition to haematuria, is the most important laboratory parameter in patients with nephro-urological diseases. Low molecular weight proteinuria (LMWP) is of particular importance because some diseases genetic and tubulointerstitial are diagnosed based on its presence.
    Aim: The purpose of this study is to describe the clinical features, the course and outcome of pediatric patients with a renal disease associated with LMWP.
    Material and methods: This retrospective observational study included 250 pediatric patients with various kidney diseases in which the type of proteinuria was defined by 4-20% gradient gel sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel (SDS-PAG) electrophoresis.
    Results: Isolated LMWP was detected in 12% of patients, while mixed glomerulotubular proteinuria was detected in 18% of patients. It was detected in all patients with the Dent-1/2 disease, Lowe's syndrome and secondary Fanconi syndrome. Transient LMWP was also detected in a series of 12 patients with distal renal tubular acidosis. In patients with nephrotic syndrome, it was associated with corticoresistence and unfavourable clinical course.
    Conclusion: This study contributes to the understanding of the clinical spectrum of various kidney diseases associated with LMWP, their natural course, and the effect of therapy.
