Positional cloning and candidate gene approaches led to the identification of eight causative genes (NPHP1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) responsible for the juvenile NPH and one gene NPHP2 for the infantile form.

In order to evaluate whether there might be a fourth locus of isolated nephronophthisis, we studied eight NPH families without extrarenal disease manifestations and without linkage to the NPH1 locus (NPHP1) on chromosome 2q12-q13.

There is extensive genetic heterogeneity with at least three different loci for NPH (NPHP1, NPHP2, and NPHP3) and two different loci for MCKD (MCKD1 and MCKD2).

In summary, our study provides a high-resolution physical map of the NPHP1 region with 7 precisely localized expressed sequences, 2 of which have recently been shown to be part of a gene for NPH.

Haplotype analyses show unequivocally that four NPH families are not linked to the chromosome 2 markers, although there are no clinical or pathological features discernible in these families that could separate them from the families linked to the chromosome 2 NPH locus (NPH1).
