Whole-exome sequencing reveals a novel homozygous mutation in the COQ8B gene associated with nephrotic syndrome.

Abstract excerpt

Nephrotic syndrome arising from monogenic mutations differs substantially from acquired ones in their clinical prognosis, progression, and disease management. Several pathogenic mutations in the COQ8B gene are known to cause nephrotic syndrome. Here, we used the whole-exome sequencing (WES) technology to decipher the genetic cause of nephrotic syndrome (CKD stage-V) in a large affected consanguineous family. Our...
