Quantifying clinical and genetic factors influencing rate and severity of autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease progression
摘要
Autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease (ADTKD), caused by mutations in UMOD and MUC1 genes, leads to tubular damage and fibrosis, ultimately resulting in kidney failure (KF). This study investigated clinical and genetic factors influencing the rate and severity of ADTKD progression by developing quantitative models. An estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 10 mL/min/1.73 m2 was used to define KF, corresponding to dialysis initiation. Natural history data from the Wake Forest University School of Medicine study were used to develop the models for UMOD (n = 371) and MUC1 (n = 233) disease types (age ≥ 18 years). Longitudinal change in eGFR and time-to-KF were quantified using nonlinear mixed-effects and parametric time-to-event modeling approaches, respectively, in Monolix (version 2024R1). Sigmoid Imax functions with steepness parameters varying before and after inflection points best captured eGFR decline. Patients with UMOD and MUC1 disease variants exhibited a similar initial shallow steepness (
