Clinical Utility of Genetic Testing in Children and Adults with Steroid-Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome

TL;DR: A genetic testing algorithm for SRNS is proposed based on the age at onset and the familial/sporadic status, which suggests that mutation analysis of specific podocyte-genes has a clinical value in all age groups, especially in children.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nephrin mutations cause childhood- and adult-onset focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.

TL;DR: An in silico scoring matrix is developed to evaluate the pathogenicity of amino-acid substitutions using the biophysical and biochemical difference between wild-type and mutant amino acid, the evolutionary conservation of the amino- acid residue in orthologs, and defined domains, with the addition of contextual information.
