P0050PRE-IMPLANTATION GENETIC TESTING FOR MONOGENIC KIDNEY DISEASE: TWENTY-FIVE YEAR EXPERIENCE IN THE NETHERLANDS

Abstract Background and Aims Due to the fast-paced developments in human genetics, a genetic cause can now be identified for an increasing number of pediatric and adult-onset kidney diseases. A monogenic kidney disease (MKD) can impact prognostication and therapy decisions. It also provides patients with options regarding family planning such as preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), a reproductive technology that helps prospective parents prevent passing on a disease-causing mutation to their offspring. There are limited reports on PGT for MKD and most are focused on severe pediatric-onset di... Mehr ...

Abstract Background and Aims Due to the fast-paced developments in human genetics, a genetic cause can now be identified for an increasing number of pediatric and adult-onset kidney diseases. A monogenic kidney disease (MKD) can impact prognostication and therapy decisions. It also provides patients with options regarding family planning such as preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), a reproductive technology that helps prospective parents prevent passing on a disease-causing mutation to their offspring. There are limited reports on PGT for MKD and most are focused on severe pediatric-onset diseases. The Dutch system of insurance reimbursement and nationwide regulation is unique, and it has allowed the Netherlands to be one of a handful of countries where couples have the option to choose PGT for MKD, including adult-onset forms of kidney disease. Here we provide the 25-year Dutch experience with PGT for MKD. Method We performed a retrospective cohort study of all couples counselled on PGT for MKD in the Maastricht University Medical Center+, the expert centre where all Dutch single cell genetic testing on embryos is performed, from January 1995 until June 2019. Results 99 couples were counseled for PGT, of which currently 15% is waiting for the genetic test to be validated. In the early years of PGT for MKD, referrals were incidental and only for couples at risk for offspring with paediatric-onset disease. From 2009 onwards, the number of referrals has steadily increased as has the number of couples referred for adult-onset MKD. Overall, the most frequent indications for referral for PGT were ADPKD (37%), X-linked Alport syndrome (25%) and ARPKD (9%). After counselling, 36% of n=99 couples started PGT treatment. In total n=80 cycles with oocyte retrieval were performed (median 2 cycles [range 1-4]). These cycles led to a median of n=10 embryos (range 2-31) suitable for biopsy and a median of n=3 embryos (range 1-14) being genetically unaffected. Seventy-five percent (n=) of couples achieved at least one live ...
