Evaluation of Genetic Polymorphisms for Determining Steroid Response in Nephrotic Children.

Abstract excerpt

GOALS: Although all children with nephrotic syndrome (NS) have similar biochemical abnormalities and clinical manifestations, they seem to have variable grades of steroid responsiveness and patterns of disease relapse. Therefore, this study aimed to examine whether steroid metabolism-related genetic polymorphisms, which are responsible for drug elimination, play a role for steroid response in children with NS....
