Decoding Monogenic Hypertension: A Review of Rare Hypertension Disorders.
Am J Hypertens
January 2025
Department of Medicine, College of Medicine, Northeast Ohio Medical University, Rootstown, OH, USA.
Hypertension is a growing concern worldwide, with increasing prevalence rates in both children and adults. Most cases of hypertension are multifactorial, with various genetic, environmental, socioeconomic, and lifestyle influences. However, monogenic hypertension, a blanket term for a group of rare of hypertensive disorders, is caused by single-gene mutations that are typically inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion, and ultimately disrupt normal blood pressure regulation in the kidney or adrenal gland.

Departments of Medical Genetics and Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Background: Pathogenic variants in , a kinesin family gene, cause MCLMR and FEVR. In MCLMR, chorioretinal atrophy is present in the majority of cases and can be a helpful diagnostic sign.
Cases: We present the cases of two patients with chorioretinal atrophy and microcephaly who carry novel mutations.
Phenotype and genetic spectrum of six Indian patients with bestrophinopathy.

December 2024
Shri Bhagwan Mahavir Vitreoretinal Services, Medical Research Foundation, Sankara Nethralaya, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.
The aim of this study is to describe genotype and phenotype of patients with bestrophinopathy. The case records were reviewed retrospectively, findings of multimodal imaging such as color fundus photograph, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus autofluorescence, electrophysiological, and genetic tests were noted. Twelve eyes of six patients from distinct Indian families with molecular diagnosis were enrolled.

Multiorgan Transplant Program, Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, McGill University Health Centre, Montreal, QC, Canada.
Background: Kidney failure is a prevalent condition with tendency for familial clustering in up to 27% of the affected individuals. Living kidney donor (LKD) transplantation is the optimal treatment option; however, in Canada, more than 45% of LKDs are biologically related to their recipients which subjects recipients to worse graft survival and donors to higher future risk of kidney failure. Although not fully understood, this observation could be partially explained by genetic predisposition to kidney diseases.

State Key Laboratory of Reproductive Medicine and Offspring Health, Center for Reproductive Medicine, Institute of Women, Children and Reproductive Health, Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong, China.
Background: Hereditary nephropathy is an important cause of renal insufficiency and end-stage renal disease. Therefore, for couples with monogenic nephropathy, preventing transmission of the disease to offspring is urgent. Preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disorders (PGT-M) is a means to prevent intergenerational inheritance by screening and transplanting normal embryos.
