Abstract excerpt
Introduction: Pediatric steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (pSSNS) is a common childhood glomerular disorder characterized by corticosteroid responsiveness, yet frequent relapses and steroid dependence lead to long-term complications. While GWAS have identified genetic risk loci for pSSNS, its shared genetic architecture with immune-mediated glomerulopathies like IgA nephropathy (IgAN) remains unclear. Methods:...
