Testing for the cytosine insertion in the VNTR of the MUC1 gene in a cohort of Italian patients with autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease.

CONCLUSIONS: We identified this type of MUC1 mutation in 9.5 % of families from an ADTKD Italian cohort; larger studies are needed to better define the criteria for genetic testing for this type of mutation.
