BackgroundAutosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease (ADTKD) caused by UMOD gene mutation (ADTKD-UMOD) is rare in children, characterized by hyperuricemia, gout, and progressive chronic kidney disease. It usually leads to end-stage renal failure at fiftieth decades. Here, we report a 3-year-old Chinese boy in an ADTKD family caused by a novel UMOD gene mutation.Case presentationA 3-year-old boy was admitted to our hospital because of persistent hematuria. Urinalysis showed BLD 2+ without proteinuria. The serum levels of uric acid, creatinine and electrolytes were normal. No renal cyst or calculus was found by ultrasonography. Renal biopsy was performed and focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis was found in 4 glomeruli among 35 glomeruli examined. His father was found with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) at the age of 29, and renal ultrasound showed several cysts in both kidneys. A novel heterozygous mutation (c.1648G>A,p.V550I) in exon 8 of UMOD gene was identified by whole exome sequencing in the family. SCBC Genome Browser alignment showed that V550 were highly conserved in uromodulin among different species. Software predicted that the mutation is suspected to be harmful. By literature review, there are 12 mutations of UMOD gene in 14 Chinese families including only one pediatric case(a 16-year-old girl).ConclusionsA novel heterozygous mutation (c.1648G>A,p.V550I) in exon 8 of UMOD gene was found in in a Chinese child case with ADTKD-UMOD, which extends our understanding of UMOD gene mutation spectrum and phenotype of ADTKD-UMOD in children.
