Journal ArticleDOI

Positional cloning uncovers mutations in PLCE1 responsible for a nephrotic syndrome variant that may be reversible.

TL;DR: These findings, together with the zebrafish model of human nephrotic syndrome generated by plce1 knockdown, open new inroads into pathophysiology and treatment mechanisms of nephrotsic syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nephrotic syndrome in the first year of life: two thirds of cases are caused by mutations in 4 genes (NPHS1, NPHS2, WT1, and LAMB2).

TL;DR: In this article, a large European cohort of 89 children from 80 families with nephrotic syndrome manifesting in the first year of life and characterized genotype/phenotype correlations was analyzed.

Nephrotic Syndrome in the First Year of Life: Two Thirds of Cases Are Caused by Mutations in 4 Genes

TL;DR: Two thirds of nephrotic syndrome manifesting in the first year of life can be explained by mutations in 4 genes only (NPHS1, NPHS2, WT1, or LAMB2); therefore, unnecessary treatment attempts can be avoided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Specific Podocin Mutations Correlate with Age of Onset in Steroid-Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome

TL;DR: In this paper, a worldwide cohort of 430 patients from 404 different families with SRNS were screened by direct sequencing, and the authors found that the majority of those affected by truncating or homozygous R138Q mutations developed nephrotic syndrome before 6 years of age.
