    Abstract Mutations in the NPHS2 gene, encoding podocin, are responsible for the majority of familial cases of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS), a rare glomerulopathy that rapidly progresses to end-stage renal disease. We obtained peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from a patient carrying the homozygous c.413G>A substitution (p.R138Q) in NPHS2 gene, which is the most prevalent mutation in the European population. The PBMCs were reprogrammed by non-integrative viral transduction of the Yamanaka's factors. The resulting iPSCs display normal karyotype, express pluripotency hallmarks and are capable of multilineage differentiation, offering a useful tool to study pathological mechanisms of SRNS and perform drug testing.

    Abstract Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) now allows identification of multiple variants in non-coding regions. The large number of variants identified by WGS however complicates their interpretation. Through identification of the first deep intronic variant in NPHS2, which encodes podocin, a protein implicated in autosomal recessive steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS), we compare herein three different tools including a newly developed targeted NGS-based RNA-sequencing to explore the splicing effect of intronic variations. WGS identified two different variants in NPHS2 eventually involved in the disease. Through RT-PCR, exon-trapping Minigene assay and targeted RNA sequencing, we were able to identify the splicing defect in NPHS2 mRNA from patient kidney tissue. Only targeted RNA-seq simultaneously analyzed the effect of multiple variants and offered the opportunity to quantify consequences on splicing. Identifying deep intronic variants and their role in disease is of utmost importance. Alternative splicing can be predicted by in silico tools but always requires confirmation through functional testing with RNA analysis from the implicated tissue remaining the gold standard. When several variants with potential effects on splicing are identified by WGS, a targeted RNA sequencing panel could be of great value.

    Abstract Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) risk variants are strongly associated with sporadic focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in populations with African ancestry. We determined the frequency of G1/G2 variants in patients with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome/focal segmental glomerulosclerosis with African or French West Indies origin in France and its relationships with other steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome genes. In a cohort of 152 patients (139 families), the APOL1 risk variants were genotyped: the two risk allele (high risk) genotype was found in 43.1% of subjects compared to 18.9% in a control population (P < 0.0001). Compared to patients in the low risk group, patients in the high-risk group were more likely to originate from French West Indies than from Africa. APOL1 high-risk genotype was more frequent in young adult patients, but it was also found in children and it was associated with a bad renal prognosis. APOL1 high-risk genotype was usually not associated with other causative mutation in known monogenic steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome genes and families in which multiple individuals have focal segmental glomerulosclerosis may have APOL1-associated disease. After renal transplantation, recipients of deceased-donor kidney transplantation from individuals with recent African ancestry possessing two APOL1 high-risk variants have slightly shorter allograft survival. Effects of APOL1 are independent of other traditional risk factors. Recently it was shown that black living kidney donors homozygous for APOL1 high-risk alleles have significantly lower glomerular filtration rate and increased risk of end-stage renal disease after donation. However, APOL1 genotype may not summarize by itself the totality of this risk. We showed that living kidney donors of African ancestry in France with low-risk APOL1 genotype have lower postdonation eGFR increase and lower baseline kidney volume compared to Caucasian donors.

    Abstract Summary: The human genome comprises approximately 3% of tandem repeats with variable length (VNTR), a few of which have been linked to human rare diseases. Autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease—MUC1 (ADTKD-MUC1) is caused by specific frameshift variants in the coding VNTR of the MUC1 gene. Calling variants from VNTR using short-read sequencing (SRS) is challenging due to poor read mappability. We developed a computational pipeline, VNtyper, for reliable detection of MUC1 VNTR pathogenic variants and demonstrated its clinical utility in two distinct cohorts: (1) a historical cohort including 108 families with ADTKD and (2) a replication naive cohort comprising 2,910 patients previously tested on a panel of genes involved in monogenic renal diseases. In the historical cohort all cases known to carry pathogenic MUC1 variants were re-identified, and a new 25bp-frameshift insertion in an additional mislaid family was detected. In the replication cohort, we discovered and validated 30 new patients.

    Abstract Podocin is a key membrane scaffolding protein of the kidney podocyte essential for intact glomerular filtration. Mutations in NPHS2, the podocin-encoding gene, represent the commonest form of inherited nephrotic syndrome (NS), with early, intractable kidney failure. The most frequent podocin gene mutation in European children is R138Q, causing retention of the misfolded protein in the endoplasmic reticulum. Here, we provide evidence that podocin R138Q (but not wild-type podocin) complexes with the intermediate filament protein keratin 8 (K8) thereby preventing its correct trafficking to the plasma membrane. We have also identified a small molecule (c407), a compound that corrects the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator protein defect, that interrupts this complex and rescues mutant protein mistrafficking. This results in both the correct localization of podocin at the plasma membrane and functional rescue in both human patient R138Q mutant podocyte cell lines, and in a mouse inducible knock-in model of the R138Q mutation. Importantly, complete rescue of proteinuria and histological changes was seen when c407 was administered both via osmotic minipumps or delivered orally prior to induction of disease or crucially via osmotic minipump two weeks after disease induction. Thus, our data constitute a therapeutic option for patients with NS bearing a podocin mutation, with implications for other misfolding protein disorders. Further studies are necessary to confirm our findings.
