Abstract excerpt
Podocin (NPHS2) expression in podocytes is associated with variable degrees of proteinuria and progression to renal failure in different glomerular diseases that suggests different expression profiles in NPHS2 promoter. Three functional polymorphisms in NPHS2 promoter (-51T, -116T, and -535 insCTTTTTT(3)) were found determining strong downregulation (-73, -59, and -82%, respectively) of the reporter gene...
