Abstract excerpt
We report on a Chinese girl with Frasier syndrome (FS). She presented with steroid-resistant focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and male pseudohermaphroditism. The WT1 IVS 9 + 5 G>A mutation was detected in one allele in the proband. The ratio of +KTS/-KTS was 0.67 in the proband's cDNA. The expression of podocyte molecules (WT1, nephrin, podocin, alpha-actinin 4 and CD2AP) were also investigated in a...
