A significant percentage of adults (10%) and children (20%) on renal replacement therapy have an inherited kidney disease (IKD). The new genomic era, ushered in by the next generation sequencing techniques, has contributed to the identification of new genes and facilitated the genetic diagnosis of the highly heterogeneous IKDs. Consequently, it has also allowed the reclassification of diseases and has broadened the phenotypic spectrum of many classical IKDs. Various genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors may explain 'atypical' phenotypes. In this article, we examine different mechanisms that may contribute to phenotypic variability and also provide case examples that illustrate them. The aim of the article is to raise awareness, among nephrologists and geneticists, of rare presentations that IKDs may show, to facilitate diagnosis.

Rare diseases, rare presentations: recognizing atypical inherited kidney disease phenotypes in the age of genomics
