Diagnosing FSGS without kidney biopsy - a novel INF2-mutation in a family with ESRD of unknown origin.

BMC medical genetics - 12 Oct 2016

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Patients on renal replacement therapy are often unaware of their underlying condition and hence suffer from so-called end-stage renal disease (ESRD) of unknown origin. However, an exact diagnosis is not only important for better estimating the prognosis, but also when preparing for kidney transplantation. Whilst patients with FSGS without a confirmed genetic cause have a high recurrence rate in the...
