Effect of Hydrocortisone on Angiotensinogen (AGT) Mutation–Causing Autosomal Recessive Renal Tubular Dysgenesis

Abstract: We has identified a founder homozygous E3_E4 del: 2870 bp deletion + 9 bp insertion in AGT gene encoding angiotensinogen responsible for autosomal recessive renal tubular dysgenesis (ARRTD) with nearly-fatal outcome. High-dose hydrocortisone therapy successfully rescued one patient with an increased serum Angiotensinogen (AGT), Ang I, and Ang II levels. The pathogenesis of ARRTD caused by this AGT mutation and the potential therapeutic effect of hydrocortisone were examined by in vitro functional studies. The … Show more

“…A prenatal genetic diagnosis allows both the clinician and the family to make decisions using more definitive information. In the future, prenatal diagnosis may allow therapeutic interventions in some selected cases [16]. This case study describes the first known case of in utero confirmation of ARRTD, using targeted genetic testing on CVS at 25 weeks' gestation to identify a homozygous variant in the AGT gene.…”
