Genetics of nephrotic syndrome: connecting molecular genetics to podocyte physiology
6 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
Urinary losses of macromolecules in nephrotic syndrome (NS) reflect a dysfunction of the highly permselective glomerular filtration barrier. Genetic studies of hereditary forms of NS have led to the identification of proteins playing a crucial role in slit-diaphragm signalling, regulation of actin cytoskeleton dynamics, maintenance of podocyte integrity and cell-matrix interactions. This review will focus on...
