Chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) has been a problem in renal practice as indefinite diagnosis may lead to inappropriate management. Here, we report a 54-year-old father diagnosed with CKDu at 33 years old and his 8-year-old son with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. Using whole-exome sequencing, both were found to be heterozygous for c.737G>A (p.Arg246Gln) in LMX1B. The diagnosis of LMX1B-associated nephropathy has led to changes in the treatment plan with appropriate genetic counseling. The previously reported cases with this particular mutation were also reviewed. Most children with LMX1B-associated nephropathy had nonnephrotic proteinuria with normal renal function. Interestingly, our pediatric case presented with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome at 8 years old and progressed to ESRD requiring peritoneal dialysis at the age of 15 years. Our report emphasized the need of genetic testing in CKDu for definite diagnosis leading to precise management.
