Genetics in Clinical Practice: Nephrotic and Proteinuric Syndromes

Abstract excerpt

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a disorder of the glomerular filtration barrier, a highly specialised tri-layer structure with unique functional properties. Recent advances emanating from the field of molecular genetics have revealed the podocyte as probably the central player in the control of glomerular filtration. More specifically, the cell-cell junction between adjacent podocyte foot processes, the slit...
