Renal agenesis is a medical condition in which one (unilateral) or both (bilateral) fetal kidneys fail to develop. Unilateral and bilateral renal agenesis in humans, mice and zebra fish has been linked to mutations in the gene GREB1L. [1] It has also been associated with mutations in the genes RET or UPK3A [2] in humans [3] and mice respectively.
Newborns with unilateral renal agenesis are usually asymptomatic if the other kidney’s otherwise healthy. Now that that one kidney’s doing all the filtering, though, over time unilateral renal agenesis can lead to hypertrophy, or growth of the kidney, which later in life can increase the risk of hypertension as well as renal failure.
There are two main populations of CAVD; the larger group is associated with cystic fibrosis and occurs because of a mutation in the CFTR gene, [4] [5] while the smaller group (estimated between 10 and 40%) is associated with unilateral renal agenesis (URA). The mutational spectrum of CFTR in the first group differs from that observed in classic ...
Santos–Mateus–Leal syndrome, also known as Hirschsprung's disease-deafness-polydactyly syndrome is a very rare autosomal recessive limb malformation which is characterized by Hirschsprung's disease, feet and hand polydactyly, unilateral renal agenesis, and congenital hearing loss. [2] [3] Only 2 cases have been described in medical ...
Renal dysplasia can be a consequence of a genetic syndrome, which in turn may affect the digestive tract, nervous system, or other areas of the urinary tract. If the mother had been taking certain prescription drugs such as those for hypertension , this may be a precipitating factor as well.
The prevalence of vaginal agenesis or class I uterine anomalies is 1:5000 female live births globally. The most prevalent form of vaginal agenesis is Mayer–Rokitansky–Kuster–Hauser (MRKH) syndrome and results in congenital aplasia or hypoplasia of Müllerian derived structures. [9] MRKH syndrome account for 5% to 10% of all Müllerian ...

Renal agenesis. Failure of one kidney to form occurs in approximately one in 750 live births. Failure of both kidneys to form used to be fatal; however, medical advances such as amnioinfusion therapy during pregnancy and peritoneal dialysis have made it possible to stay alive until a transplant can occur.
