“…In previous cases of BOR syndrome, IC deposits were occasionally reported, but lacking further details or discussion. Similar to our case, other inherited developmental disorder complicated with ICGN had been occasionally reported, including cohorts of RH [ 27 ], WT1 -nephropathy [ 28 ], Alport Syndrome [ 29 ], a case of COL4A5 nephropathy [ 30 ], etc. Although the mechanism has not been elucidated, it indicated that those structural renal anomalies may increase the incidence of ICGN.…”

Background Branchio-oto-renal (BOR) syndrome is an inherited multi-systemic disorder. Auricular and branchial signs are highly suggestive of BOR syndrome but often develop insidiously, leading to a remarkable misdiagnosis rate. Unlike severe morphological abnormalities of kidneys, knowledge of glomerular involvement in BOR syndrome were limited. Case presentation Three cases, aged 8 ~ 9 years, visited pediatric nephrology department mainly for proteinuria and renal insufficiency, with 24-h proteinuria of 23.8 ~ 68.9 mg/kg and estimated glomerular filtration rate of 8.9 ~ 36.0 mL/min/1.73m2. Moderate-to-severe albuminuria was detected in case 1, while mixed proteinuria was detected in case 2 and 3. Insidious auricular and branchial fistulas were noticed, all developing since early childhood but being neglected previously. EYA1 variants were confirmed by genetic testing in all cases. Delay in diagnosis was 8 ~ 9 years since extra-renal appearances, and 0 ~ 6 years since renal abnormalities. In case 1, therapy of glucocorticoid and immunosuppressive agents to accompanying immune-complex mediated glomerulonephritis was unsatisfying. Conclusions BOR syndrome is a rare cause of proteinuria and abnormal kidney function and easily missed, thus requiring more awareness. Careful medical history taking and physical examination are essential to early diagnosis. Massive proteinuria was occasionally seen in BOR syndrome, which might be related to immune complex deposits. A novel pathogenic variant (NM_000503.6 (EYA1): c.1171delT p.Ser391fs*9) was firstly reported.
