Abstract excerpt
Mutations in podocyte genes have been identified in patients with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS). Point mutations in the ACTN4 gene cause an autosomal dominant form of human focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS); however, reports of CD2AP mutations remain scarce. Based on the phenotype of Actn4 and Cd2ap null mice, we aimed to define the role of recessive CD2AP and ACTN4 mutations in a cohort...
