    Abstract The Factor V Leiden (FVL, rs6025) and prothrombin G20210A (PTGM, rs1799963) polymorphisms are two of the most well-studied genetic risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, double heterozygosity (DH) for FVL and PTGM remains poorly understood, with prior studies in marked disagreement about the thrombosis risk conferred by the DH genotype. Utilizing multi-dimensional data from the UK Biobank (UKB) and the FinnGen biorepositories, we evaluated the clinical impact of DH carrier status across 937,939 individuals. We found that 662 participants (0.07%) were DH carriers. After adjustment for age, sex, and ancestry, DH individuals experienced a markedly elevated risk of VTE compared to wild-type individuals (OR=5.24, 95% CI: 4.01 - 6.84; P=4.8 x 10-34), which approximated the risk conferred by FVL homozygosity. A secondary analysis restricted to UKB participants (N=445,144) found that effect size estimates for the DH genotype remained largely unchanged (OR=4.53, 95% CI: 3.42 - 5.90; P<1 x 10-16) after adjustment for commonly cited VTE risk factors such as body mass index, blood type, and markers of inflammation. By contrast, the DH genotype was not associated with a significantly higher risk of any arterial thrombosis phenotype, including stroke, myocardial infarction, and peripheral artery disease. In summary, we leveraged population-scale genomic datasets to conduct the largest study to date of the DH genotype and were able to establish far more precise effect size estimates than previously possible. Our findings indicate that the DH genotype may occur as frequently as FVL homozygosity and confers a similarly increased risk of VTE.

    Abstract Studies have shown that as many as 1 in 10 adults with chronic kidney disease has a monogenic form of disease. However, genetic services in adult nephrology are limited. An adult Kidney Genetics Clinic was established within the nephrology division at a large urban academic medical center to increase access to genetic services and testing in adults with kidney disease. Between June 2019 and December 2021, a total of 363 patients were referred to the adult Kidney Genetics Clinic. Of those who completed genetic testing, a positive diagnostic finding was identified in 27.1%, a candidate diagnostic finding was identified in 6.7% of patients, and a nondiagnostic positive finding was identified in an additional 8.6% of patients, resulting in an overall yield of 42.4% for clinically relevant genetic findings in tested patients. A genetic diagnosis had implications for medical management, family member testing, and eligibility for clinical trials. With the utilization of telemedicine, genetic services reached a diverse geographic and patient population. Genetic education efforts were integral to the clinic's success, as they increased visibility and helped providers identify appropriate referrals. Ongoing access to genomic services will remain a fundamental component of patient care in adults with kidney disease.

    Abstract Objective: GREB1L has been linked prenatally to Potter's sequence, as well as less severe anomalies of the kidney, uterus, inner ear, and heart. The full phenotypic spectrum is unknown. The purpose of this study was to characterize known and novel pre- and postnatal phenotypes associated with GREB1L.
    Methods: We solicited cases from the Fetal Sequencing Consortium, screened a population-based genomic database, and conducted a comprehensive literature search to identify disease cases associated with GREB1L. We present a detailed phenotypic spectrum and molecular changes.
    Results: One hundred twenty-seven individuals with 51 unique pathogenic or likely pathogenic GREB1L variants were identified. 24 (47%) variants were associated with isolated kidney anomalies, 19 (37%) with anomalies of multiple systems, including one case of hypoplastic left heart syndrome, five (10%) with isolated sensorineural hearing loss, two (4%) with isolated uterine agenesis; and one (2%) with isolated tetralogy of Fallot.
    Conclusion: GREB1L may cause complex congenital heart disease (CHD) in humans. Clinicians should consider GREB1L testing in the setting of CHD, and cardiac screening in the setting of GREB1L variants.

    Title translation Genetic Basis of Congenital Anomalies of the Kidney and Urinary Tract.
    Abstract Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) occur have an incidence of about 1% and they are one of the most common birth defects. CAKUT is the most common cause of end stage renal disease in children, leading to high morbidity and mortality in these patients. Recent studies indicate a strong genetic component in the determination of CAKUT. The genetic architecture of these malformations involves both point mutations and structural variants. The recent improvement in next-generation sequencing technologies resulted in a boost on discovery of new genes involved in CAKUT. Results from micro-array study have demonstrated that rare structural variants are an important source of genetic variation in patients with CAKUT. Moreover, these structural variants have been proven to be associated with developmental disorders that develop later in life, especially neurodevelopment diseases, such as autism, schizophrenia, epilepsy, intellectual disability, and others. The easy pre-natal diagnosis of CAKUT by ultrasound and the possibility of a rapid molecular diagnosis in a significant fraction of patients, implicate the kidney and urinary tract as new possible sentinels for other diseases that develop later in life, bearing strong implications for personalized medicine.

    Abstract The mammalian gut is home to a diverse microbial ecosystem, whose composition affects various physiological traits of the host. Next-generation sequencing-based metagenomic approaches demonstrated how the interplay of host genetics, bacteria, and environmental factors shape complex traits and clinical outcomes. However, the role of fungi in these complex interactions remains understudied. Here, using 228 males and 363 females from an advanced-intercross mouse line, we provide evidence that fungi are regulated by host genetics. In addition, we map quantitative trait loci associated with various fungal species to single genes in mice using whole genome sequencing and genotyping. Moreover, we show that diet and its' interaction with host genetics alter the composition of fungi in outbred mice, and identify fungal indicator species associated with different dietary regimes. Collectively, in this work, we uncover an association of the intestinal fungal community with host genetics and a regulatory role of diet in this ecological niche.

    Abstract Background: Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) is the second most common cause of kidney failure in children and adults under the age of 20 years. Previously, we were able to detect by exome sequencing (ES) a known monogenic cause of SRNS in 25-30% of affected families. However, ES falls short of detecting copy number variants (CNV). Therefore, we hypothesized that causal CNVs could be detected in a large SRNS cohort.
    Methods: We performed genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based CNV analysis on a cohort of 138 SRNS families, in whom we previously did not identify a genetic cause through ES. We evaluated ES and CNV data for variants in 60 known SRNS genes and in 13 genes in which variants are known to cause a phenocopy of SRNS. We applied previously published, predefined criteria for CNV evaluation.
    Results: We detected a novel CNV in two genes in 2 out of 138 families (1.5%). The 9,673 bp homozygous deletion in PLCE1 and the 6,790 bp homozygous deletion in NPHS2 were confirmed across the breakpoints by PCR and Sanger sequencing.
    Conclusions: We confirmed that CNV analysis can identify the genetic cause in SRNS families that remained unsolved after ES. Though the rate of detected CNVs is minor, CNV analysis can be used when there are no other genetic causes identified. Causative CNVs are less common in SRNS than in other monogenic kidney diseases, such as congenital anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tract, where the detection rate was 5.3%. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

    Abstract Understanding the complex genetic makeup underlying congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) is of primary importance to improve diagnosis, stratify risk for later-onset complications, and develop therapeutic strategies. Saisawat et al. used homozygosity mapping coupled with next-generation sequencing to identify recessive mutations in TRAP1 in families with isolated CAKUT and with VACTERL association. This study points to a novel player in kidney development, possibly affecting apoptosis and endoplasmic reticulum stress signaling.
