A Novel CLCN5 Mutation Associated With Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis and Podocyte Injury

Abstract excerpt

Introduction Tubular dysfunction is characteristic of Dent's disease; however, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) can also be present. Glomerulosclerosis could be secondary to tubular injury, but it remains uncertain whether the CLCN5 gene, which encodes an endosomal chloride and/or hydrogen exchanger, plays a role in podocyte biology. Here, we implicate a role for CLCN5 in podocyte function and...
