BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Nephrotic syndrome is a typical presentation of genetic podocytopathies but occasionally other genetic nephropathies can present as clinically indistinguishable phenocopies. We hypothesized that extended genetic testing followed by reverse phenotyping would increase the diagnostic rate for these patients. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS: All patients diagnosed with...
