We report a patient with adult-onset nephronophthisis (NPHP) that was identified a homozygous full gene deletion of and a heterozygous mutation. We suggest that the mutation may have epistatically ameliorated NPHP disease progression and that the screening of larger cohorts for similar possible epistatic effects is needed.
我们报告了一名成年发病的肾单位肾痨(NPHP)患者,该患者被鉴定为存在纯合子全基因缺失以及杂合子突变。我们认为该突变可能通过上位效应改善了NPHP的疾病进展,并且需要对更大的队列进行筛查以寻找类似的可能上位效应。
