Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is commonly caused by PKD1, and mosaic PKD1 variants result in milder phenotypes. We present the case of a 32 year-old male with chronic active Epstein-Barr virus who underwent bone marrow transplantation with chemoradiotherapy at age 9. Despite a low-frequency mosaic splicing PKD1 variant, he developed severe renal cysts and end-stage renal disease in his 30 s. This case highlights how environmental factors may contribute to the genetic predisposition to ADPKD.
常染色体显性多囊肾病(ADPKD)通常由PKD1引起,而镶嵌性PKD1变异会导致较轻的表型。我们报告了一例32岁男性病例,该患者患有慢性活动性EB病毒感染,9岁时接受了放化疗的骨髓移植。尽管存在低频镶嵌性剪接PKD1变异,但他在30多岁时仍出现了严重肾囊肿和终末期肾病。该病例凸显了环境因素可能如何促成ADPKD的遗传易感性。
