Abstract excerpt
Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) leads to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in childhood or young adulthood. Positional cloning for genes causing SRNS has opened the first insights into the understanding of its pathogenesis. This study reports a genome-wide search for linkage in a consanguineous Palestinian kindred with SRNS and deafness and detection of a region of homozygosity on chromosome 14q24.2....
