Renal transplant recipents (RTRs) are at increased risk of keratinocyte cancer (KC) , especially cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). Previous studies identifieda genetic variant of Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) gene , C677T, which conferred a risk for diagnosis of cSCC in irish RTRs.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), characterized by progressive cyst formation/expansion, results in enlarged kidneys and often end stage kidney disease. ADPKD is genetically heterogeneous; PKD1 and PKD2 are the common loci (∼78% and ∼15% of families) and GANAB, DNAJB11, and ALG9 are minor genes. PKD is a ciliary-associated disease, a ciliopathy, and many syndromic ciliopathies have a PKD phenotype.
