Description : Autosomal recessive renal tubular dysgenesis is a severe disorder of renal tubular
development characterized by persistent fetal anuria and perinatal death, probably
due to pulmonary hypoplasia from early-onset oligohydramnios (the Potter phenotype)
(Gribouval et al., 2005). Absence or paucity of differentiated proximal tubules is
the histopathologic hallmark of the disorder and may be associated with skull ossification
defects.;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the angiotensinogen gene (AGT, 106150.0003); Caused by mutation in the renin gene (REN, 179820.0002); Caused by mutation in the angiotensin II receptor type 1 gene (AGTR1, 106165.0003); Caused by mutation in the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene (ACE, 106180.0003);
