The mutation-dependent pathogenicity ofNPHS2p.R229Q: A guide for clinical assessment
27 Sept 2018
Abstract excerpt
NPHS2, encoding podocin, is the major gene implicated in steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. Its c.686G>A, p.R229Q variant is the first human variant with a mutation-dependent pathogenicity; it is only pathogenic when trans-associated to specific mutations. Secondary to its high allele frequency in the European, South Asian, African, and Latino populations, its benign trans-associations can be accidentally...
