WT1 missense mutation in exon 8 or 9 causes infantile nephrotic syndrome with early progression to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), Wilms tumor, and 46,XY female. However, some patients with missense mutations in exon 8 or 9 progress to ESKD in their teens or later. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and functional analysis of WT1 transcriptional activity.
Frasier syndrome (FS) is a rare inherited kidney disease caused by intron 9 splicing variants of WT1. For wild-type WT1, 2 active splice donor sites in intron 9 cause a mixture of 2 essential transcripts (with or without lysine-threonine-serine [+/KTS or -KTS]), and imbalance of the +KTS/-KTS ratio results in the development of FS. To date, 6 causative intron 9 variants have been identified; however, detailed transcript analysis has not yet been conducted and the genotype-phenotype correlation also remains to be elucidated.
Currently, there are no treatments for Alport syndrome, which is the second most commonly inherited kidney disease. Here we report the development of an exon-skipping therapy using an antisense-oligonucleotide (ASO) for severe male X-linked Alport syndrome (XLAS). We targeted truncating variants in exon 21 of the COL4A5 gene and conducted a type IV collagen α3/α4/α5 chain triple helix formation assay, and in vitro and in vivo treatment efficacy evaluation. We show that exon skipping enabled trimer formation, leading to remarkable clinical and pathological improvements including expression of the α5 chain on glomerular and the tubular basement membrane. In addition, the survival period was clearly prolonged in the ASO treated mice group. This data suggests that exon skipping may represent a promising therapeutic approach for treating severe male XLAS cases.
