Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Up to 95% of children presenting with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome in early life will have a pathogenic single-gene mutation in 1 of 24 genes currently associated with this disease. Others may be affected by polymorphic variants. There is currently no accepted diagnostic algorithm for clinical genetic testing. The hypothesis was that the increasing reliability of next generation...
