Mutations in NUP160 Are Implicated in Steroid-Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome
25 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
Significance Statement Mutations in >50 genes can lead to monogenic steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS). The authors found that a young patient with familial SRNS and FSGS carried novel compound-heterozygous mutations in NUP160 ; this gene encodes nucleoporin 160 kD, one of the protein components of the nuclear pore complex. Using an in vivo renal cell assay on the basis of Drosophila nephrocytes (an...
