congenital Nephrosis

A congenital nephrotic syndrome; patients present with PROTEINURIA; HYPOALBUMINEMIA; HYPERLIPIDEMIA, and EDEMA. Biopsies show nonspecific histologic changes such as MINIMAL CHANGE GLOMERULOPATHY; FOCAL SEGMENTAL GLOMERULOSCLEROSIS (FSGS), and diffuse mesangial proliferation. Nephrotic syndrome type 1 (OMIM: 256300) presents with prenatal onset of massive proteinuria followed by severe steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome at birth with rapid progression to CHRONIC KIDNEY FAILURE. Germline mutations have been identified in the NPHS1 gene for type 1; NPHS2 gene for type 2 (OMIM: 600995); and the PLCE1 gene for type 3 (OMIM: 610725).
