 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'EURenOmics will integrate several established consortia devoted to rare kidney diseases with eminent need and potential for diagnostic and therapeutic progress (i.e. steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome, membranous nephropathy, tubulopathies, complement disorders such a haemolytic uraemic syndrome, and congenital kidney malformations). The Consortium has access to the largest clinical cohorts assembled to date (collectively >10,000 patients) with detailed phenotypic information and comprehensive biorepositories containing DNA, blood, urine, amniotic fluid and kidney tissue. The project aims to (1) identify the genetic and epigenetic causes and modifiers of disease and their molecular pathways; (2) define a novel mechanistic disease ontology beyond phenotypical or morphological description; (3) develop innovative technologies allowing rapid diagnostic testing; (4) discover and validate biomarkers of disease activity, prognosis and treatment responses; and (5) develop in vitro and in vivo disease models and apply high-throughput compound library screening. For these purposes we will integrate comprehensive data sets from next generation exome and whole-genome sequencing, ChiP-sequencing, tissue transcriptome and antigen/epitope profiling, and miRNome, proteome/peptidome, and metabolome screening in different body fluids within and across conventional diagnostic categories. These data will be combined in a systems biology approach with high-resolution clinical phenotyping and findings obtained with a large array of established and novel in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo disease models (‘functiomics’) to identify disease-associated genetic variants involved in monogenic or complex genetic transmission, disease-defining molecular signatures, and potential targets for therapeutic intervention. These efforts will converge in the development of innovative diagnostic tools and biomarkers and efficient screening strategies for novel therapeutic agents.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

European researchers are using high-throughput technologies to delineate the mechanisms and explore novel therapeutic approaches for rare kidney diseases. The ultimate goal is to improve the dismal prognosis of patient with these disorders.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Rare kidney diseases are a group of disorders of unknown genetic or molecular aetiology and are characterised by significant phenotypic variability. Although they have a dismal impact on life expectancy and quality of life, diagnostic and therapeutic management options are highly unsatisfactory. Currently there are no molecular markers or models to allow for efficient prediction of disease risk.

High-throughput studies are possible for rare kidney diseases using kidney biopsies. Subsequent transcriptomic, proteomic and morphological analyses should provide invaluable insight into the pathogenesis of these rare disorders. In addition, urine and amniotic fluid constitute excellent molecular readouts that could give an indication of renal malfunction.

The EU-funded http://www.eurenomics.eu/ (EURENOMICS) (European consortium for high-throughput research in rare kidney diseases) project is utilising high-throughput technologies to perform a large scale analysis of patient samples. The consortium has access to a large cohort of over 15 000 patients and biorepositories of DNA, serum, amniotic fluid and kidney biopsy specimens.

The activities of the project include the search for new genes that cause, modify or predispose individuals to disease phenotypes. So far novel disease-causing mutations and genomic rearrangements have been detected, while exome sequencing has identified new genes implicated in these disorders. Numerous additional candidate disease genes are currently undergoing functional characterisation.

The consortium is also performing multi-level molecular profiling (mRNA, miRNA, proteome, metabolome) of body fluids and renal tissues to identify unique molecular disease signatures. They are searching for novel antigens and antibodies, and have made significant progress with respect to the molecular mechanisms of auto-immune disease.

Fundamental new insights into disease penetrance indicated that in NPHS2 glomerulopathy, phenotype is directly dependent on the nature of the combining mutations. This discovery is the first description of mutation-dependent recessive inheritance in human genetics.

From a therapeutic perspective, scientists have developed in vitro and in vivo models for screening compound libraries for novel therapeutic agents. Combined with other technologies they envisage diagnostic progress, risk prediction as well as strategies for disease management.
