Core Tip

Core tip: Oral-facial-digital syndrome type 1 (OFD1) is a rare ciliopathy mainly with an X-linked dominant pattern of inheritance, which is caused by mutations in the OFD1 gene. It is reported that approximately 15%–50% cases of OFD1 progress to end-stage renal disease following development of polycystic kidney diseases. The phenotypic spectrum associated with OFD1 mutations has been recently extended with an X-linked recessive pattern of inheritance. Here we report a pair of childhood male twins who presented only renal failure and polycystic kidney disease caused by an OFD1 mutation with an X-linked recessive fashion of inheritance in China.
