BACKGROUND: Multiple genes underlying focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and/or steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) have been identified, with the recent inclusion of collagen IV mutations responsible for Alport disease (AD) or thin basement membrane nephropathy (TBMN). We aimed to investigate the distribution of gene mutations in adult patients with primary FSGS/SRNS by targeted next generation...
