Overview

In most of the patients, the symptoms will differ depending upon a case by case basis. People with a similar disease might have a variable presentation and may not have all the mentioned symptoms. This valuable information is usually collected from the database of Human phenotype Ontology (HPO). The HPO usually collects the symptoms is usually described or mentioned in the various publications and medical resources. The most common manifestations are Enlargement of the optic disc with blood vessels seen coming out from the periphery. Retinal vessels observed in patients with Renal-coloboma syndrome are more in number and tortuosity as compared to see in normal individuals. Less commonly seen anomalies are Scleral staphyloma, Optic nerve cyst, Microphthalmia, Reduced corneal diameters, Foveal hypoplasia, and macular anomalies. The most common renal abnormalities are Renal hypoplasia/ hypo dysplasia kidneys that have a malformed function with a small number of functional glomeruli and can develop ESRD at any point in the disease. Somewhere around 10% of the patients with these kidneys found to have PAX2 gene mutation. Oligomeganephronia Condition seen in some of the patients with Renal-coloboma syndrome and this usually refers to the marked reduction in the number of functionally intact nephrons Compensatory glomerular hypertrophy seen. Glomerulosclerosis and meningeal fibrous deposits are the most common findings seen on histopathology. Multicystic dysplastic kidneys- These are commonly seen in around 10% of the patients reported with RCS. ESRD- End-stage renal disease can happen anytime during the course of the disease.

Physical examination

Renal-coloboma syndrome- Eyes and renal manifestations observed clinically. Right (A) and Left (B) wide and deeply excavated optic disc shown in the image suggestive of optic disc dysplasia, also called a variant of "Morning glory". Right (C) and Left (D) eye showing bilateral optic disc dysplasia and Macular degeneration of the left eye, Surrounded by numerous arrows shown. (E) Glomerulus showing mesangial cell proliferation on hematoxylin and eosin stain

Renal-coloboma syndrome mainly involves eyes and kidneys.

The organ-specific abnormalities commonly corresponds to tissue specific PAX2 gene[1][2] expression during the embryonic period. The commonly affected tissues are inner ear, brain (CNS), spinal cord and less commonly urogenital ridge[3][4][5]


Ocular Abnormalities

The most common associated eye abnormality is the dysplasia of the optic nerve.

The other common involved eye findings are-

The visual acuity for patients with Renal-coloboma syndrome ranges from normal to marked impairment in vision to near blindnes. Nystagmus and strabismus noted in patients involved in different studies may or may not be considered as a part of this syndrome. Anisometric visual acuity also noted in patients with RCS varied from 20/20 in one eye to just mere light perception in the other eye. Other common findings seen in patients on examination include varying degrees of myopia[8][9], calcified degeneration of cornea, retinal detachment, lens abnormalities/luxation[10] and/or progressive vision loss.

Renal Abnormalities

Renal malformations are commonly seen in all the patents with RCS and that too even before the appearance of eye anomalies[9][11].

The common Renal abnormalities found in RCS patients with PAX2 gene expression are

1. Renal hypoplasia/ hypo dysplasia[12]

  • kidneys that have a malformed function with a small number of functional glomeruli and can develop ESRD at any point in the disease.
  • Somewhere around 10% of the patients with these kidneys found to have PAX2 gene mutation[13][14]

2. Oligomeganephronia[15]

  • Condition seen in some of the patients with Renal-coloboma syndrome and this usually refers to the marked reduction in the number of functionally intact nephrons
  • Compensatory glomerular hypertrophy seen.
  • Glomerulosclerosis and mesangial fibrous deposits are the most common findings seen on histopathology.

3. Multicystic dysplastic kidneys[16] - These are commonly seen in around 10% of the patients reported with Renal-coloboma syndrome.

4. Horseshoe kidney[17]

5. ESRD- End-stage renal disease can happen anytime during the course of the disease.

  • It can be present in the prenatal period[8][18] with a severe presentation of Hypoplastic, aplastic kidneys, or in some cases as oligomenorrhea that ultimately in some cases leads to the loss of the fetus.
  • ESRD can be seen in the prenatal period or in adults in the late seventh decade.

6. CAKUT- congenital abnormalities of kidney and urinary tract

  • Ureteropelvic junction obstruction
  • Medullary sponge kidneys
  • Renal malformations
  • Horse shoe kidneys
  • Duplication of Pyeloureteral region

7. Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis- PAX2 mutation variant has been reported in cases of autosomal dominant FSGS.

8. Other findings- Hypertension, Proteinuria, Vesicoureteral reflux.

Auditory findings

Other Less common clinical associations

The other less common findings seen in patients with RCS are Ligamentous laxity. So far only one patient is identified with Chiari 1 malformation with PAX2 mutation.
