Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on missense variants in the PKHD1 gene, which are linked to varying severity of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD), highlighting how different genetic expressions can lead to diverse health outcomes in individuals.
  • It presents a case of two adult siblings who share biallelic missense variants but exhibit significantly different health experiences: one suffers from severe kidney complications and requires transplants, while the other maintains nearly normal kidney function into middle age.
  • The findings emphasize that specific genetic compositions, particularly those involving hypomorphic variants, may contribute to the inconsistent presentation of symptoms, or "phenotypic discordance," even among siblings.
