Renal tubular dysgenesis is a severe disorder of autosomal recessive inheritance. Anuria already presents in uteri (oligohydramnios) and the children die soon after birth of pulmonary dysfunction.
The pregnancy is characterized by oligohydramnios due to fetal anuria. Perinatal death occurs out of pulnonary hypoplasia.
Symptoms also include redundant skin, facial dysmorphia and lung hypoplasia. Often skull ossification defects are present.
The diagnosis can be made by histomorphology. The kidneys show no or only few differentiated proximal tubules.
