Dent disease

What it is

A rare X-linked renal tubular diseases characterized by a primary proximal tubule dysfunction with low-molecular-weight proteinuria. Other renal features often include hypercalciuria, nephrolithiasis/nephrocalcinosis, and progressive renal failure, among others. There are two subtypes: Dent disease type 1 characterized by an isolated renal phenotype in association with CLCN5 variants, and Dent disease type 2, often characterized by the addition of extra renal manifestations in association with OCRL1 variants.

Signs and symptoms

These ranges are how often a sign appears across everyone diagnosed, not a prediction for one person — most people have some of these and not others. Orphanet also records findings that are specifically absent in this disease; those are in the data but not listed here.

Genes reported in subtypes

Orphanet records these genes on 2 more specific entries under this disorder, not on this entry itself:

A well-studied disease is usually split into subtypes, and the gene is curated on whichever one the evidence belongs to. Open a subtype to see which gene goes with it.

ICD-10 codes

ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.

Reached through the ICD-10 categories this disease is filed under, so these describe the broader group rather than this disease specifically.

Benefit programs to look at

Programs whose eligibility touches the same ICD-10 categories. Eligibility is decided by the administering agency, never by this page.
