Abstract excerpt
The field of nephrology has a long-standing interest in deciphering the genetic basis of nephrotic syndrome (NS), motivated by the mechanistic insights it provides in chronic kidney disease. The initial era of genetic studies solidified NS and the focal segmental glomerulosclerosis lesion as podocyte disorders. The likelihood of identifying a single gene (called monogenic) cause is higher if certain factors are...
