Abstract:

Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is an important cause of childhood renal- and liver-related morbidity and mortality with variable disease expression. Many patients manifest peri- or neonatally with a mortality rate of 30–50%, whereas others survive to adulthood with only minor clinical features. ARPKD is typically caused by mutations in the PKHD1 gene that encodes a 4074-amino acid type 1 single-pass transmembrane protein called fibrocystin or polyductin. Fibrocystin/polyductin is among other cystoproteins expressed in primary cilia, basal bodies, and centrosomes, but its

Abstract:

Autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias are a group of inherited neurological disorders with progressive balance and gait difficulties. In these disorders, cerebellar ataxia is often accompanied by eye movement abnormalities and peripheral nervous system involvement. A unifying mechanism for disease pathogenesis that is common to all the recessive ataxias likely does not exist. Nevertheless, some pathophysiological pathways are common to several autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias. Specific gene defects in each disorder are summarized in the chapter.

This chapter discusses three of the major inherited forms of liver disease (all autosomal recessive): hereditary haemochromatosis, Wilson’s disease, and alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency. Hereditary haemochromatosis is characterized by excessive absorption of dietary iron, with a pathological increase in total body iron that accumulates in tissues and organs, disrupting their function. Wilson’s disease (hepatolenticular degeneration) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder in which copper accumulates in tissues.

Abstract:

Renal cysts of different aetiology are a common diagnosis in paediatric nephrology. The classification is usually based on the clinical picture, morphology, and family history. In syndromic forms, additional features have to be evaluated. Most common are cystic dysplastic kidneys with a broad phenotypic spectrum ranging from asymptomatic clinical courses in unilateral cases to severe, lethal manifestations in patients with considerable bilateral involvement. Simple cysts are rare. Polycystic kidneys are usually subdivided according to the mode of inheritance into autosomal recessive and autoso

The inherited cystic kidney conditions nephronophthisis (NPHP) and medullary cystic kidney disease (MCKD) have previously been referred to as a NPHP–MCKD complex.

Both conditions may also present with insidious renal impairment and a urine concentrating defect, but they are genetically distinct. NPHP is an autosomal recessive disorder leading to established renal failure usually within the first three decades of life, and it is a ciliopathy. In contrast, MCKD is an autos

Spinal muscular atrophies affect the lower motor neuron. The most common SMA maps to 5q is an autosomal recessive disorder. SMA is caused by loss or mutation of the SMN1 gene and retention of the SMN2 gene, and these genes lie in a complex area of the genome. Mild missense alleles of SMN1 work to complement SMN2 to give function and therapeutics that restore SMN levels are in clinical testing. Modifiers that lie outside the SMN gene locus and influence severity clearly exist, but what they are remains unknown as do the critical genes affected by SMN deficiency.

All MPS are autosomal recessive except Hunter syndrome, which is X-linked. Because each type has a different enzyme deficiency, each has different comorbidities and unique treatment modalities.

Abstract:

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited, autosomal recessive, multisystem disease. Dysfunction of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein (CFTR) in epithelial cells is the primary defect in CF. Defects in CFTR are the cause for lung disease, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and failure, male infertility, and liver disease. CF can present with a variety of respiratory and gastrointestinal signs, including meconium ileus in the newborn period, hypernatremic dehydration, pulmonary insufficiency, nasal polyps, and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. As affected children grow

Abstract:

Renal tubular dysgenesis involves the absence or incomplete differentiation of proximal tubular nephron segments. Due to the lack of a patent nephron, it is characterized by (fetal) anuria and subsequent oligohydramnios, pulmonary hypoplasia, premature birth with severe and refractory arterial hypotension, and fetal or neonatal death. The main cause for renal tubular dysgenesis is a genetic mutation in the renin–angiotensin system, which has shown an autosomal recessive trait. Maternal use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers during pregnancy can have

Abstract:

Spastic paraplegia type 5 (SPG5) is an autosomal recessive hereditary spastic paraplegia due to mutations in CYP7B1, which encodes oxysterol 7α‎-hydroxylase. Oxysterol 7α‎-hydroxylase is involved in the synthesis of bile acids from cholesterol. CYP7B1 mutations are responsible for rare forms of liver failure in infancy as well as lower motor neuron degeneration in adults with no obvious genotype-phenotype correlation. SPG5 is mostly characterized by spastic paraplegia with prominent posterior column sensory impairment that can lead to sensory ataxia and bladder dysfunction. SPG5 can easily be

Abstract:

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) are a group of autosomal recessive genetic disorders which represent the most common form of childhood neurodegenerative disease. Classically the disease was described according to the age of diagnosis resulting in four common phenotypes: (i) infantile or Santavuori-Haltia, (ii) late infantile or Jansky-Bielschowsky, (iii) juvenile or Spielmeyer-Vogt, and (iv) adult or Kufs. With advances in genetic mutational analysis techniques and improved understanding of NCL disease as a whole, disease classification now focuses on which of the known genetic defects is

Abstract:

This chapter describes the clinical features of Alport syndrome. The characteristic features of this familial condition are haematuria with progressive nephropathy and sensorineural hearing loss. Most cases are X-linked so this is typically seen in boys and young men, but female heterozygous (‘carriers’) of X-linked Alport syndrome are also at significant risk of renal disease in their lifetime. The average age of end-stage renal failure is in the third or fourth decade. Those with autosomal recessive disease (approximately 15%) show a similar phenotype. Hearing loss characteristically develop

Abstract:

Cystinuria (OMIM #220100) is an autosomal recessive disorder of a dibasic amino acid transport in the apical membrane of epithelial cells of the renal proximal tubule and small intestine. It leads to increased urinary cystine excretion and recurrent urolithiasis. The cystine transporter is an heterodimeric transporter which is composed of a heavy subunit, rBAT, linked to a light subunit, b0,+AT. Two genes, SLC3A1 (solute carrier family 3 member 1) and SLC7A9, coding for rBAT and b0,+AT, account for the genetic basis of cystinuria. Cystinuria may lead to obstruction, infections, and ultimately

Abstract:

Cystinosis is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by a defect in the carrier-mediated system that normally transports cystine out of lysosomes. As a consequence, tissues accumulate variable amounts of the disulphide amino acid cystine. Three overlapping clinical phenotypes are recognized, varying in severity and age of onset. The most severe, the infantile nephropathic form (MIM 219800), appears in the first year of life. The late-onset form (MIM 219900) is also nephropathic, while ocular, non-nephropathic cystinosis manifests largely with corneal crystal deposition (MIM 2

Abstract:

Primary hyperoxalurias (PH) are rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorders characterized by an increased endogenous oxalate production which leads to the development of urolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis, and ultimately to renal failure.PH patients with severe renal failure develop life-threatening systemic oxalosis, which affects many organs such as bone, skin, retina, myocardium, vessel walls, and the central nervous system. So far, combined or sequential liver-kidney transplantation is the only therapeutic option for patients with advanced disease. Contrary to the former impression of a relat
