Abstract

Background

Dent disease is associated with low molecular weight proteinuria and hypercalciuria and caused by pathogenic variants in either of two genes: CLCN5 (Dent disease 1) and OCRL (Dent disease 2). It is generally not accompanied by extrarenal manifestations and it is difficult to distinguish Dent disease 1 from Dent disease 2 without gene testing. We retrospectively compared the characteristics of these two diseases using one of the largest cohorts to date.

Methods

We performed gene testing for clinically suspected Dent disease, leading to the genetic diagnosis of 85 males: 72 with Dent disease 1 and 13 with Dent disease 2. A retrospective review of the clinical findings and laboratory data obtained from questionnaires submitted in association with the gene testing was conducted for these cases.

Results

The following variables had significantly higher levels in Dent disease 2 than in Dent disease 1: height standard deviation score (height SDS), serum creatinine-based estimated GFR (Cr-eGFR) (median: 84 vs. 127 mL/min/1.73 m2, p < 0.01), serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), serum creatine phosphokinase (CK), serum potassium, serum inorganic phosphorus, serum uric acid, urine protein/creatinine ratio (median: 3.5 vs. 1.6 mg/mg, p < 0.01), and urine calcium/creatinine ratio. There were no significant differences in serum sodium, serum calcium, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), urine β2-microglobulin, incidence of nephrocalcinosis, and prevalence of intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorder.

Conclusions

The clinical and laboratory features of Dent disease 1 and Dent disease 2 were shown in this study. Notably, patients with Dent disease 2 showed kidney dysfunction at a younger age, which should provide a clue for the differential diagnosis of these diseases.
