Abstract excerpt
To identify gene loci associated with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS), we utilized homozygosity mapping and exome sequencing in a consanguineous pedigree with three affected siblings. High-density genotyping identified three segments of homozygosity spanning 33.6 Mb on chromosomes 5, 10, and 15 containing 296 candidate genes. Exome sequencing identified two homozygous missense variants within the...
