Abstract excerpt
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a type of primary glomerular disease, is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Several studies have revealed that certain single-gene mutations are involved in the pathogenesis of FSGS; however, the main cause of FSGS has not been fully elucidated. Homozygous mutations in the glomerular basement membrane gene can lead to early renal failure, while...
