Congenital anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tract (CAKUT) constitute the leading cause of chronic kidney disease in children. In total, 174 monogenic causes of isolated or syndromic CAKUT are known. However, syndromic features may be overlooked when the initial clinical diagnosis of CAKUT is made. We hypothesized that the yield of a molecular genetic diagnosis by exome sequencing (ES) can be increased by applying reverse phenotyping, by re-examining the case for signs/symptoms of the suspected clinical syndrome that results from the genetic variant detected by ES.
