R229Q Polymorphism of NPHS2 Gene in Group of Iraqi Children with Steroid-Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome
Background. The polymorphism R229Q is one of the most commonly reported podocin sequence variations among steroid-resistant nephrotic syndromes (SRNS). Aim of the Study. We investigated the frequency and risk of this polymorphism among a group of Iraqi children with SRNS and steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS). Patients and Methods. A prospective case control study which was conducted i...
متن کاملR229Q polymorphism of NPHS2 gene in patients with late-onset steroid-resistance nephrotic syndrome: a preliminary study.
INTRODUCTION Depending on the response to standard steroid therapy, nephrotic syndrome it is classified to steroid-sensitive and steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS). Mutations in several genes including NPHS2 have been implicated in SRNS. Gene R229Q polymorphism (p.R229Q) of NPHS2 is associated with adolescent- or adult-onset SRNS in European and South American populations. We investiga...
متن کاملNPHS2 Gene Mutation and Polymorphisms in Indonesian Children with Steroid-Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome
Objective: Although several NPHS2 gene mutations and polymorphisms were described and associated with clinical manifestation of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS), the occurrence of these genetic abnormalities or variants appeared to be influenced by race and ethnic group. We have investigated probable mutations and variants in NPHS2 gene involved in SRNS and their association with cli...
متن کاملChildren with Steroid-resistant Nephrotic Syndrome: a Single-Center Study
Background and Aim: Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) accounts for 10%-20% of all cases of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. These patients are at risk of developing end-stage renal disease. The aim of this study was to determine the demographic characteristics, renal biopsy findings, response to immunosuppressive treatment, and prognosis in pediatric patients with SRNS.Materials and Met...
