Whole-exome sequencing of a multicenter cohort identifies genetic changes associated with clinical phenotypes in pediatric nephrotic syndrome

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the association between the genetic and clinical phenotypes in children with nephrotic syndrome (NS) of different etiologies is critical for early clinical guidance. We employed whole-exome sequencing (WES) to detect monogenic causes of NS in a multicenter cohort of 637 patients. In this study, a genetic cause was identified in 30.0% of the idiopathic steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS)...
