Genetic evaluation of paediatric nephrocalcinosis: phenotype-driven genetic panels reveal a rare diagnosis.

Monogenic causes of paediatric nephrocalcinosis are associated with extensive phenotypic variability. We report a 14-year-old male who presented at 8 years of age with incidentally identified nephrocalcinosis alongside growth impairment and dental anomalies. Extensive genetic investigation confirmed a molecular diagnosis of Bartter syndrome type II. This is exceptional in both late presentation and the presence of amelogenesis imperfecta, a very rare association of inherited tubulopathies. Details of the nephrocalcinosis gene panel analysed and associated phenotypes are presented to highlight the utility of a phenotype-driven genetic panel in resolving an atypical presentation of nephrocalcinosis, allowing precise diagnosis, tailored therapy and prognostication.
