The MUC1 gene encodes a transmembrane mucin normally expressed on the apical borders of secretory epithelial cells. In 2013, a mutation consisting of an insertion of a single cytosine (C) in a long (1.5-5.0 kb) GC-rich coding variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) sequence in the MUC1 gene was identified as a cause of dominantly inherited medullary cystic kidney disease. This location makes the mutation very difficult to detect.[PMID 23396133]

In 2017, a novel frameshift mutation consisting of a deletion of two bases before the VNTR region in the MUC1 gene was reported to co-segregate with the insertion mutation found within the VNTR, at least in one family with tubulointerstitial kidney disease (ADTKD).10.1093/ndt/gfx083
