Objective: From July 2019 to February 2021, children under the age of 18 with three or more cysts in both kidneys on imaging studies were recruited from three centers in Korea. Genetic analysis was performed using targeted exome sequencing (TES) including 89 genes known as cystogenesis-related or causative-ciliopathy. Methods: A total of 46 pediatric patients (28 boys, 60.9%) with iCKD were recruited. The median age was 9.2 years (IQR, 5.49-14.53). The clinical diagnoses of the patients were autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) in 10 patients, autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease in 5, multicystic dysplastic kidney in 2, nephronophthisis in 1, and CKD of unknown etiology in the others. The mutation detection rate was 52.2% (24 of 46); PKD1 was the most common causative gene (16 patients, 34.8%), followed by HNF1B (3 patients). PAX2 (2 patients), PKD2 (1 patient), PKHD1 (1 patient), and NPHP3 (1 patient). Twelve patients (27.9%) had a family history of iCKD, all of which pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants were identified. In patients without a family history, causative variants were found in 35.2% (12 of 34). Results: The causative variant detection rate in this cohort of Korean children with iCKD was 52.2% by TES. ADPKD was the most common diagnosis, but other diseases showing renal cysts were diagnosed through genetic analysis. Since genetic analysis yields a diverse genetic diagnosis in half of children with iCKD, molecular genetic testing is worthwhile in this population for better management. Conclusions: Objective: In children with chronic kidney disease (CKD), a monogenic cause accounts for almost 30%, of which inherited cystic kidney disease (iCKD) is the most common. Nearly 100 causes of renal cystic ciliopathies have been identified and the genetic diagnostic yield is reported to be approximately 50%. Here, we report results of comprehensive genetic testing in a cohort of Korean pediatric patients with iCKD.
