Pathogenic and/or likely pathogenic (P/LP) gene variants concordant with the inheritance pattern were detected in 203 patients (24.8%). Variants in type IV collagen genes were the most frequent (COL4A5, COL4A4, COL4A3; 35% of total gene variants), followed by NPHP1, PAX2, UMOD, MUC1, and INF2 (7.3%, 5.9%, 2.5%, 2.5%, and 2.5%, respectively).
