We report a high prevalence of hypomorphic PKD1 variants and likely biallelic disease in infants presenting with PKD-VEO with major implications for reproductive counseling. The diagnostic interpretation and reporting of these variants however remains challenging using current American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics/Association for Molecular Pathology (ACMG/AMP) and Association of Clinical Genetic Science (ACGS) variant classification guidelines in PKD-VEO and other diseases affected by similar variants with incomplete penetrance.
