<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Hereditary chronic kidney disease (CKD) appears to be more frequent than the clinical perception. Exome sequencing (ES) studies in CKD cohorts could identify pathogenic variants in ~10% of individuals. Tubulointerstitial kidney diseases, showing no typical clinical/histologic finding but tubulointerstitial fibrosis, are particularly difficult to diagnose. We used a targeted panel (29 genes) and <jats:italic>MUC1</jats:italic>-SNaPshot to sequence 271 DNAs, selected in defined disease entities and age cutoffs from 5217 individuals in the German Chronic Kidney Disease cohort. We identified 33 pathogenic variants. Of these 27 (81.8%) were in <jats:italic>COL4A3/4/5</jats:italic>, the largest group being 15 <jats:italic>COL4A5</jats:italic> variants with nine unrelated individuals carrying c.1871G>A, p.(Gly624Asp). We found three cysteine variants in <jats:italic>UMOD</jats:italic>, a novel missense and a novel splice variant in <jats:italic>HNF1B</jats:italic> and the homoplastic <jats:italic>MTTF</jats:italic> variant m.616T>C. Copy-number analysis identified a heterozygous <jats:italic>COL4A5</jats:italic> deletion, and a <jats:italic>HNF1B</jats:italic> duplication/deletion, respectively. Overall, pathogenic variants were present in 12.5% (34/271) and variants of unknown significance in 9.6% (26/271) of selected individuals. Bioinformatic predictions paired with gold standard diagnostics for <jats:italic>MUC1</jats:italic> (SNaPshot) could not identify the typical cytosine duplication (“c.428dupC”) in any individual, implying that ADTKD-<jats:italic>MUC1</jats:italic> is rare. Our study shows that >10% of selected individuals carry disease-causing variants in genes partly associated with tubulointerstitial kidney diseases. <jats:italic>COL4A3/4/5</jats:italic> genes constitute the largest fraction, implying they are regularly overlooked using clinical Alport syndrome criteria and displaying the existence of phenocopies. We identified variants easily missed by some ES pipelines. The clinical filtering criteria applied enriched for an underlying genetic disorder.</jats:p>
