An Adolescent Boy Presented with Polyuria: A Diagnostic Challange.

Öz

Polyuria in children may become a diagnostic challenge since it may be seen as presenting symptom of an underlying renal or systemic disease. An adolescent boy, who did not have any known illness, was presented with polyuria. The detailed history revealed the findings of learning difficulty, speech impairment, unsteady gait and an operation of polydactyly. He had consanguineous parents and a brother who had abruptly diagnosed with the end-stage renal disease at the age of 21. These clues pointed to genetic background. On physical examination, he had pectus excavatum, atypical facial appearance, dysarthria, hypotonia, rotatory nystagmus, impaired tandem walk, hyperpigmented retinal irregularities. Laboratory examinations showed Stage-4 chronic kidney disease accompanied by tubulopathy. Ultrasonography detected cystic lesions on the corticomedullary junction. Thus, the patient had diagnosed Juvenile-Nephronophthisis. During further examinations, Molar Tooth Sign was detected in cranial MRI imaging. All these clinical and radiological findings indicate the spectrum of Joubert-Syndrome-Related-Disorders (JSRD). Genetic analysis of the patient and his brother revealed homozygous NPHP1 deletion. Distinctly from literature, they both had hematological involvement in the form of persistent thrombocytopenia. Genetic heterogeneity and phenotypic variability of nephronophthisis are major challenges. Although NPHP1 deletions are mostly identified in isolated nephronophthisis, they have also been described in complex ciliopathy syndromes such as JSRD. This case is also specific due to haematological involvement additional to kidney, retina, skeleton, neurological. We think, this case may shed light on future genotype-phenotype studies.
