BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The increasing number of podocyte-expressed genes implicated in steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS), the phenotypic variability, and the uncharacterized relative frequency of mutations in these genes in pediatric and adult patients with SRNS complicate their routine genetic analysis. Our aim was to compile the clinical and genetic data of eight podocyte genes analyzed in 110...
