Whole exome sequencing identifies monogenic forms of nephritis in a previously unsolved cohort of children with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome and hematuria.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Alport syndrome (AS), atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome (aHUS), and fibronectin-glomerulopathy (FG) are rare forms of glomerular diseases that manifest in a combination of proteinuria, hematuria, and hypertension, referred to as nephritic syndrome. Due to phenotypic overlays, steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) and nephritic syndrome have been difficult to discern diagnostically. SRNS is more...
