ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Duplex kidney is a relatively frequent form of urinary system abnormality. This study aimed to elucidate the value of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and whole exome sequencing (WES) for duplex kidney and the perinatal outcomes of duplex kidney fetuses.METHODS:
This retrospective cohort study included 63 patients with duplex kidney diagnosed using antenatal ultrasound between August 2013 and January 2023. We reviewed the clinical characteristics, genetic test results, and pregnancy outcomes of the patients.RESULTS:
Among the 63 cases based on the inclusion criteria, the CMA detected seven (11.1%) clinically significant variants and nine variants of uncertain significance (VUS), and the pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) copy number variations (CNVs) in the recurrent region that were associated with prenatal duplex kidney included 17q12, 17p13.3, and 22q11.2. No significant disparity was observed in the CMA detection rate between the unilateral and bilateral groups, or between the isolated and non-isolated groups. WES identified three (50%) P/LP single-gene variants in six fetuses with duplex kidney. We detected the following pathogenic genes in the duplex kidney fetuses KMT2D, SMPD4, and FANCI. Pregnancy termination in cases where clinically significant variants were detected by genetic testing was different in statistical significance from that in cases with negative results (9/10, 90.0% vs 8/48, 16.7%, P < 0.001).CONCLUSION:
This study elucidated the value of CMA and WES for fetal duplex kidney, proving that CMA and WES may be useful tools in prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling.Palabras clave
