Description : Glomerulocystic kidney disease is characterized by cystic dilatation of the Bowman
space and the initial proximal convoluted tubule. Both sporadic and familial occurrences
have been observed. Sharp et al. (1997) noted that GCKD had primarily been recognized
in infants with a family history of classic, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney
disease (PKD). However, dominantly transmitted GCKD associated with either hypoplastic
or normal-sized kidneys has also been reported in older children and adults. Hypoplastic
GCKD has been identified in some families with mutations in the TCF2 gene (189907)
as part of the clinical phenotype of renal cysts and diabetes syndrome (137920).;
