Abstract: Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1B (HNF1B, also known as TCF2) is a transcription factor that is involved in renal development, and in the transcription of several genes implicated in other genetic renal diseases. Mutations in <italic>HNF1B</italic> cause maturity onset diabetes of the young, renal cysts and diabetes syndrome, and some cases of familial juvenile hyperuricaemic nephropathy. They also account for a large proportion of developmental renal disorders included abnormalities detected antenatally. The various abnormalities associated with the gene may occur in isolation or together in the same patient.
