摘要

Genetic kidney disease (GKD) is a major cause of pediatric chronic kidney disease. Many patients remain genetically unresolved by exome sequencing (ES) and copy number variation (CNV) analysis. Genome sequencing (GS) enables a comprehensive detection of genetic variations. This study evaluates a GS-based sequential strategy to determine the diagnostic yield in pediatric GKD. We recruited families with GKD from a national cohort of 23 centers from 2020 to 2024 through Chinese Children Genetic Kidney Disease Database. This sequential sequencing strategy involved initial trio-ES and Trio-CNV-seq, followed by GS in undiagnosed cases, splicing essays analysis was performed for intronic variants. A total of 735 families were enrolled. Trio-ES and Trio-CNV-seq achieved a diagnostic yield of 39.4% (35.5% from ES and 4.0% from CNV-seq). Subsequent GS identified pathogenic variants in 23 of 445 previously undiagnosed cases (5.2%), including small structural variants (5 cases), intronic variants affecting splicing function (9 cases), and variants in mitochondrion DNA (9 cases). GS showed 14% and 8.8% increase in diagnostic yield in renal tubular disease and CKD of unexplained cause. Syndromic cases exhibited a higher diagnostic yield (10.9%) than isolated cases (4.6%). These findings indicate GS-based sequential strategy improves the diagnostic yield of GKD.
