Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To understand WT1 mutations in patients with steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) accompanied with genitourinary malformations. METHODS: Three cases of SRNS accompanied with genitourinary malformations were enrolled. The expression of podocyte molecules (nephrin, podocin, alpha-actinin-4, WT1, and CD2AP) in 2 cases was analyzed with the immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry techniques. The...
