Familial focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) in a Nigerian family and exclusion of mutations in NPHS2,WT1 and APOL1.

West African journal of medicine - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a significant cause of end-stage renal disease. It is generally considered to be sporadic but familial cases have been reported in varied ethnic groups. Genetic mutations implicated in familial FSGS involving NPHS1, NPHS2, WTI and APOL1 have not been studied in African children living outside America. This is the first report of familial FSGS and genetic...
