Oligohydramnios is not a rare prenatal finding. However, recurrent oligohydramnios is uncommon, and genetic etiology should be taken into consideration. We present two families with recurrent fetal oligohydramnios that did not respond to amnioinfusion. Rapid trio-whole-exome sequencing (WES) revealed mutations in the gene in both families within 1 week. The first family had a compound heterozygous mutation with c.856 + 1G > T and c.857-619_1269 + 243delinsTTGCCTTGC changes. The second family had homozygous c.857-619_1269 + 243delinsTTGCCTTGC mutations. gene mutation may lead to autosomal recessive renal tubular dysgenesis, a rare and lethal disorder that can result in early neonatal death. Both the alleles identified are known alleles associated with pathogenicity. Our findings suggest that trio-WES analysis may help rapidly identify causative etiologies that can inform prompt counseling and decision-making prenatally.
羊水过少并非罕见的产前检查结果。然而,复发性羊水过少并不常见,应考虑其遗传病因。我们报告了两个复发性胎儿羊水过少且羊膜腔灌注治疗无效的家系。快速三联全外显子测序(WES)在1周内发现两个家系的该基因均存在突变。第一个家系有一个复合杂合突变,即c.856 + 1G > T和c.857-619_1269 + 243delinsTTGCCTTGC改变。第二个家系有纯合的c.857-619_1269 + 243delinsTTGCCTTGC突变。该基因突变可能导致常染色体隐性肾小管发育不全,这是一种罕见的致死性疾病,可导致新生儿早期死亡。所鉴定的两个等位基因均为已知的致病性相关等位基因。我们的研究结果表明,三联WES分析可能有助于快速识别致病病因,从而为产前咨询和决策提供及时的依据。
