Background: Autosomal-dominant medullary cystic kidney disease type 1 (MCKD1) is a tubulointerstitial nephropathy that causes renal salt wasting and end-stage renal failure in the sixth decade of life. The chromosomal locus for MCKD1 was localized to chromosome 1q21 in a Cyprotic kindred. In this report we describe further refinement of the critical genetic region by a recombination in a Belgian kindred.
Methods: Clinical data and blood samples of 33 individuals from a large Belgian kindred were collected and high-resolution haplotype analysis was performed.
Results: In the Belgian kindred linkage to the MCKD1 locus on chromosome 1q21 was found with a logarithm of odds (LOD) score significant for linkage. A recombination in individual III:7 for marker D1S2624 refines the critical genetic region to 2.1 Mb. In this kindred a wide variety of clinical symptoms and age of onset of renal failure was detected.
Conclusion: We confirm the MCKD1 locus on chromosome 1q21 and show further refinement of the MCKD1 locus to 2.1 Mb. This allowed us to exclude another 17 genes as positional candidate genes.

Background: Medullary cystic kidney disease (MCKD) is clinically indistinguishable from several other autosomal-dominant renal diseases; thus, molecular genetic testing is needed to establish a definitive diagnosis. A specific type of single cytosine insertion in the variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) of the mucin 1 (MUC1) gene is the only known cause of MCKD1; however, genetic analysis of this mutation is difficult and not yet offered routinely. To identify the causative mutation/s and establish a definitive diagnosis in a Chinese family with chronic kidney disease, clinical assessments and genetic analysis were performed, including using a modified genotyping method to identify the MUC1- VNTR single cytosine insertion.

Medullary cystic kidney disease (MCKD) belongs with nephronophthisis (NPH) to the NPH-MCKD complex, a group of inherited tubulointerstitial nephritis which share some morphological and clinical features. Juvenile NPH, the most frequent variant of the complex, is a recessive disease with onset in childhood leading to end stage renal disease (ESRD) within the 2nd decade of life. The most frequent extrarenal involvement is tapeto-retinal degeneration.

Background: Autosomal-dominant juvenile hyperuricemia, gouty arthritis, medullary cysts, and progressive renal insufficiency are features associated with familial juvenile hyperuricemic nephropathy (FJHN), medullary cystic kidney disease type 1 (MCKD1) and type 2 (MCKD2). MCKD1 has been mapped to chromosome 1q21. FJHN and MCKD2 have been mapped to chromosome 16p11.

Background: Autosomal dominant medullary cystic kidney disease type 1 (MCKD1; Mendelian Inheritance in Man 174000) is a hereditary tubulointerstitial renal disease. For MCKD1, a locus on chromosome 1q21 is published. Although there are characteristic biopsy and imaging findings for MCKD, clinical diagnosis of this disorder is still very difficult because unique phenotypic features are not always present in individual cases.
