Abstract excerpt
Heritable causes of proteinuria are rare and account for a relatively small proportion of all cases of proteinuria affecting children and adults. Yet, significant contributions to understanding the mechanistic basis for proteinuria have been made through genetic and molecular analyses of a small group of syndromic and nonsyndromic proteinuric disorders which are caused by mutations encoding structural components...
