Introduction. Nephrin and podocin proteins, encoded by NPHS1 and NPHS2 genes, are essential for the integrity of the glomerular filter. The present study was aimed to investigate whether NPHS1 rs437168 and NPHS2 rs61747728 genetic variants are involved in the susceptibility to nephrotic syndrome (NS). Materials and Methods. This case-control study was performed on 108 children with NS and 97 he...
متن کاملNPHS1 gene mutation in Japanese patients with congenital nephrotic syndrome.
BACKGROUND AND METHODS The NPHS1gene was analysed in different five Japanese patients with congenital nephrotic syndrome (CNS) from the patients in a previous report (Sako M, Nakanishi K, Obana M et al. Analysis of NPHS1, NPHS2, ACTN4, and WT1 in Japanese patients with congenital nephrotic syndrome. Kidney Int 2005; 67: 1248-1255) that suggested that the mutation of NPHS1 was not a major cause ...
متن کاملNovel NPHS1 splice site mutations in a Chinese child with congenital nephrotic syndrome.
Congenital nephrotic syndrome (CNS) is defined as heavy proteinuria or nephrotic syndrome occurring before 3 months of age. It is characterized by early onset and progresses to end-stage renal disease. Recently, several genes associated with CNS have been identified, including NPHS1 and NPHS2. Mutations in the NPHS1 gene have been identified in patients with CNS in Finland with relatively high ...
متن کاملGenetic basis of nephrotic syndrome--review.
Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is one of the most frequent syndromes characterized namely by heavy proteinuria. Majority of NS occurs as a sporadic form, the incidence of familial cases is from 3 to 5%. Seven genes have been recognized till present, which mutations are responsible for severe forms of NS: NPHS1, NPHS2, ACTN4, CD2AP and WT1, TRPC6, LAMB2. Proteins encoded by these genes (nephrin, podoci...
متن کاملBigenic heterozygosity and the development of steroid-resistant focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
BACKGROUND Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a major cause of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome in childhood with a central role for the podocytes in the pathogenesis. Mutated proteins expressed in podocytes cause proteinuria. The role of combined gene defects in the development of FSGS is less clear. METHODS We analysed seven podocyte genes known to cause proteinuria and FSGS i...
