NPHS2 Mutations in Children With Steroid-Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome
Iranian Journal of Kidney Diseases, 06/30/09

Otukesh H et al. - The study suggests that NPHS2 mutations in exons 5 and 7 are not seen. Therefore, NPHS2 (exons 5 and 7) mutation for screening in Iranian children with steroid-resistant nephritic syndrome is not recommended. Other exons of podocin or other podocyte proteins in Iranian children may play a role in pathogenesis of steroid-resistant nephritic syndrome.
