Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the novel renal glomerular genes NPHS1 and NPHS2 encoding nephrin and podocin cause two types of severe nephrotic syndrome presenting in early life, Finnish type congenital nephrotic syndrome (CNF) and a form of autosomal recessive familial focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (SRN1), respectively. To investigate the mechanisms by which mutations might cause glomerular protein leak, we analysed...
