High Incidence Rate
Represent 35% to 45% of all congenital abnormalities

Congenital Urinary Tract Anomalies (UTA)
Include anomalies of: Kidneys Ureters Bladder Urethra
Classification: Errors of organogenesis Errors of migration and position Obstruction

Prenatal Hydronephrosis
Hydronephrosis is the most common abnormality detected on prenatal ultrasonography.
In the United States, 3 million maternal ultrasounds are performed annually with hydronephrosis being the most commonly detected anomaly (as many as 42,000 fetuses, 1.4%)
It accounts for about 50% of all prenatally detected defects.
up to one half of these neonates do not have hydronephrosis on the postnatal ultrasound.

Prenatal Hydronephrosis
Etiology: Physiologic or benign dilation Ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction (64%) The remaining 36% are secondary to:
Vesicoureteral reflux Megaureter Posterior urethral valves

Association with other anomalies UTA are frequently associated (72%) with other structural
anomalies Structural anomalies of most organ systems have an
increased risk for association with UTA

Genetics in hydronephrosis
Multifactorial disorder Low recurrence risk
Chromosome abnormalities Risk of fetal chromosome abnormality
Isolated hydronephrosis: 3 times Hydronephrosis associated with other anomalies: 30 times
risk Autosomal dominant inheritance
Few reported families

Diagnostic approach
Chromosome study Karyotype Array-based techniques
Monogenic disorders Targeted molecular genetic study Genomic studies (next-generation sequencing
technique)

Chromosome study
Normal karyotype does not rule out chromosome abnormalities
Array-based techniques Different resolution
CGH array Oligoarray SNP array

Next generation sequencing techniques
High throughput Molecular investigation of a wide range of genetic
disorders in a single experiment Whole exome sequencing
