Rare Biallelic CTU2 Variants in an Individual With CAKUT: Clinical Characterization and Minigene Splicing Analysis

Molecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Exome sequencing in 200 CAKUT patients identified compound heterozygous rare CTU2 variants in one renal‐predominant case. Minigene splicing assays showed c.913C>T partially increased exon 9 skipping, supporting further case collection and kidney‐relevant studies to clarify the role of CTU2 in renal developmental phenotypes.
