602088 | OMIM | Nephronophthisis 2 (NPHP2) | An autosomal recessive disorder resulting in end-stage renal disease. It is characterized by early onset and rapid progression. Phenotypic manifestations include enlarged kidneys, chronic tubulo-interstitial nephritis, anemia, hyperkalemic metabolic acidosis. Some patients also display situs inversus. Pathologically, it differs from later-onset nephronophthisis by the absence of medullary cysts and thickened tubular basement membranes, and by the presence of cortical microcysts. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
