Abstract excerpt
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a podocytopathy leading to kidney failure, whose molecular cause frequently remains unresolved. Here, we describe a rare MYO9A loss of function nonsense heterozygous mutation (p.Arg701∗) as a possible contributor to disease in a sibling pair with familial FSGS/proteinuria. MYO9A variants of uncertain significance were identified by whole exome sequencing in a cohort of...
