A comprehensive analysis of NPHS1 gene mutations in patients with sporadic focal segmental glomerulosclerosis

Abstract Background Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is still one of the common causes of refractory nephrotic syndrome. Nephrin, encoded by podocyte-specific NPHS1 gene, participated in the pathogenesis of FSGS. The sites of NPHS1 mutations in FSGS is not clarified very well. In this study...
