Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Pathogenic mutations in the non-muscle single-headed myosin, myosin 1E (Myo1e), are a rare cause of pediatric focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). These mutations are biallelic, to date only reported as homozygous variants in consanguineous families. Myo1e regulates the actin cytoskeleton dynamics and cell adhesion, which are especially important for podocyte functions. METHODS: DNA and RNA...
