[Mitochondrial dysfunction and focal segmental glomerular sclerosis].

Abstract excerpt

Focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS) is known as one of major renal complication of mitochondrial cytopathies. Glomerular epithelial cells are primary pathogenic sites in FSGS lesions. Glomerular epithelial cells are regarded as terminally differentiated cells and do not proliferate. This characteristic is the same for neuron cells and muscular cells, which are major sites of mitochondrial DNA mutations...
