Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) is the second most common cause of kidney failure in children and adults under the age of 20 years. Previously, we were able to detect by exome sequencing (ES) a known monogenic cause of SRNS in 25-30% of affected families. However, ES falls short of detecting copy number variants (CNV). Therefore, we hypothesized that causal CNVs could be detected in a...
