Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is one of the most common hereditary diseases in cats, with high prevalence in Persian and Persian-related cats. PKD is caused mainly by an inherited autosomal dominant (AD) mutation, and animals may be asymptomatic for years. We screened 16 cats from various breeds exhibiting a renal abnormality by ultrasound examination and genotyped them for the c.10063C>A transversion on exon 29 of the polycystin-1 ( PKD1) gene, by PCR–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Among these cats, a Siamese nuclear family of 4 cats with ancestral hereditary renal failure were screened by whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to determine novel variations in genes associated with both AD and autosomal recessive PKD in humans. During the study period, one cat died as a result of renal failure and was forwarded for autopsy. Additionally, we screened 294 cats asymptomatic for renal disease (Angora, Van, Persian, Siamese, Scottish Fold, Exotic Shorthair, British Shorthair, and mixed breeds) to determine the prevalence of the mutation in cats in Turkey. Ten of the symptomatic and 2 of the asymptomatic cats carried the heterozygous C → A transversion, indicating a prevalence of 62.5% and 0.68%, respectively. In the WGS analysis of 4 cats in the Siamese nuclear family, novel variations were determined in the fibrocystin gene ( PKHD1), which was not compatible with dominant inheritance of PKD.

Abstract Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common genetic disease in cats. However, scarce data on its prevalence are available in Brazil. Persian cats and Persian-related breeds were assessed by molecular genotyping for a C to A transversion in exon 29 of PKD1 gene to determine ADPKD prevalence in a Brazilian population. Genomic DNA extracted from peripheral whole blood or oral swabs samples was used to amplify exon 29 of PKD1 gene employing a PCR-RFLP methodology. From a total of 616 animals, 27/537 Persian and 1/17 Himalayan cats showed the single-nucleotide variant (C to A) at position 3284 in exon 29 of feline PKD1. This pathogenic variation has been identified only in heterozygous state. The prevalence of ADPKD in Persian cats and Persian-related breeds was 5.03% and 1.6%, respectively. There was no significant association between feline breed, gender or age with ADPKD prevalence. Of note, the observed ADPKD prevalence in Persian cats and Persian-related breeds in Brazil was lower than the ones reported in other parts of the world. This finding may be related to genetic counseling and consequent selection of ADPKD-free cats for reproduction.

Поликистозная болезнь почек (ПП) является клинически и генетически гетерогенной группой заболеваний, может наследоваться как аутосомно-доминантно (АД), так и аутосомно-рецессивно (АР). К развитию АР ПП приводят мутации в гене PKHD1. Большинство мутаций при АД ПП находят в гене PKD1 (80-85%). Примерно в 15% случаев мутации выявляют в гене PKD2. Клиническое и генетическое разнообразие ПП требует поиска мутаций в нескольких генах, поэтому он является трудоемким, дорогостоящим и требует много времени. Метод массового параллельного секвенирования (МПС) позволяет проводить поиск мутаций в нескольких генах одновременно независимо от их размера. Проведен поиск мутаций в 254 семьях с ПП методом МПС с использованием панели, включающей гены PKHD1, PKD1, PKD2, HNF1B и GANAB. Два варианта в гене PKHD1 было идентифицировано в 49 семьях (19%), один вариант найден в 9 случаях (3,5%); в гене PKD1 обнаружено 62 варианта (24,5%), в гене PKD2 - 6 вариантов (2,5%), в гене HNF1B - 9 вариантов (3,5%). В 119 семьях, что составило 47%, мутации найдены не были. У больных из семей с генеалогически установленным АД типом наследования в большинстве случаев (39 из 66; 59%) выявлены варианты в гене PKD1, приводящие к ПП. Из 59 изолированных случаев ПП в 17% (10 человек) идентифицированы 2 варианта в гене PНKD1, в 20% (12 человек) - в гене PKD1. При неизвестном типе наследования (129 случаев) в 29,5% (38 чел.) найдены 2 варианта в гене PНKD1, в 8,5% (11 чел.) - в гене PKD1, в 3% (4 чел.) - в гене PKD2, в 4% (5 чел.) - в гене HNF1B. Таким образом, МПС относительно быстро позволяет проводить молекулярно-генетический анализ одновременно в нескольких генах у больных с признаками ПП. Polycystic kidney disease is a heterogeneous group of autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive disorders with age of manifestation varying from prenatal period to adulthood. Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease is caused by mutations in the PKHD1 gene. Approximately 85% of all autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease cases are caused by mutations in the PKD1 gene, and around 15% - by mutations in the PKD2 gene. All these genes are large, and mutations were found to be scattered throughout the genes without any clustering. Therefore, mutation detection requires a lot of time, money, and effort. Due to clinical and genetic diversity of polycystic kidney disease, the search for mutations has to be carried out in several genes. Mass parallel sequencing (MPS) allows to analyze several genes simultaneously regardless of their size. 254 families with polycystic kidney disease were examined using mass parallel sequencing with a gene panel that included PKHD1, PKD1, PKD2, HNF1B and GANAB. Two variants in PKHD1 were found in 49 families (19%), one variant - in 9 families (3.5%); in PKD1 62 variants were detected (24.5%), in PKD2 - 6 variants (2.5%), in HNF1B - 9 variants (3.5%). In 119 families (47%) there were no mutations in the target genes. Among 66 patients from families with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, 39 patients (59%) had mutations in the PKD1 gene. Out of 59 sporadic cases, 10 patients (17%) had 2 variants in PНKD1, 12 patients (20%) - in PKD1. 38 patients (29.5%) out of 129 patients with unknown type of inheritance had 2 variants in PНKD1, 11 patients (8.5%) - in PKD1, 4 patients (3%) - in PKD2, 5 patients (4%) - in HNF1B. Mass parallel sequencing allows to carry out relatively rapid molecular genetic analysis of several genes simultaneously for patients with symptoms of polycystic kidney disease.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a genetic systemic disorder causing the development of renal and hepatic cysts and decline in renal function. It affects around 1 in 1,000 live births. Early hypertension and progressive renal failure due to massive enlargement of cysts and fibrosis are hallmarks of the disease. This article reviews recent advances in ADPKD and focuses mainly on diagnosis, management, and prediction of the course of the disease.
