Identification of the First Gene Locus (SSNS1) for Steroid-Sensitive Nephrotic Syndrome on Chromosome 2p
1 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
Disease mechanisms of steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) remain unknown. Whereas gene identification has furthered the understanding of pathomechanisms in steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS), not even a gene locus is known for SSNS. Total genome linkage analysis was performed in a consanguineous SSNS kindred to identify a gene locus for SSNS. Homozygosity mapping identified a locus for SSNS on...
