We report a 32‐week fetus conceived of consanguineous parentage which presented with severe early onset oligohydramnios and history of a similarly affected sibling in previous pregnancy. Ultrasonography and autopsy were inconclusive, prompting exome sequencing on fetal DNA. This resulted in identification of a homozygous novel 3′ splice‐site variation in intron 17 of the ACE gene (NM_000789.3:c.2642‐1G>A), confirming diagnosis of autosomal recessive renal tubular dysgenesis, and facilitating prenatal diagnosis in subsequent pregnancy.
