Cone-rod dystrophy is a progressive inherited retinal degenerative disorder that occurs in humans and dogs. The deletion in the nephronophthisis 4 (NPHP4) gene was established as a causative mutation in standard wire-haired Dachshunds. We analyzed all varieties of Dachshunds from the Czech Republic and five other dog breeds and found that the deletion in the NPHP4 (in heterozygous state) is present not only in standard-, but also in miniature wire-haired Dachshunds, but not in other varieties of Dachshunds or in other breeds.

Purpose: In parent-child trios with genome sequencing data, we investigated inherited biallelic deletions to identify known and novel genetic disorders.
Methods: We developed a copy-number variations analysis pipeline based on autosomal genome sequencing read depth of Genomics England 100,000 Genomes Project data from 11,754 parent-child trios and additional 18,875 non-trios. A control cohort of 15,440 cancer patients provided independent deletion frequencies.

Article Synopsis
- * A 30-year-old man, with a family history of kidney disease, presented with high blood pressure and was later diagnosed with chronic kidney issues after several evaluations, including tests that ruled out certain genetic conditions.
- * After experiencing confusion and extreme hypertension in early 2024, further tests revealed low complement levels and a genetic mutation related to complement dysregulation, illustrating the impact of this dysregulation on kidney health.

Background: Nephronophthisis-4 (NPHP4) is an inherited renal ciliopathy described by renal fibrosis and progressive impairment of kidney function. This study aimed to investigate the genetic basis and clinical manifestations of NPHP4 in two Iranian siblings.
Methods: The proband was a 27-year-old male with features of end-stage renal disease, including anemia, uremia, polyuria, and polydipsia.

Article Synopsis
- - Nephronophthisis (NPHP) is a rare genetic kidney disease that primarily affects children, but there's evidence suggesting it could also be significant in adult cases of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) that are often overlooked.
- - This study presents a case of a 48-year-old male with adult-onset ESRD and identified two gene mutations linked to NPHP, which are thought to play a role in his renal dysfunction and associated kidney cancer.
- - The research highlights the need to better understand adult-onset NPHP, especially since the presence of these genetic mutations could indicate a connection with renal clear cell carcinoma in older patients.
