The present study revealed the genotype of a Chinese pedigree with autosomal recessive (AR) SRNS and reported a novel disease-causing NPHS2 mutation. METHODS: A Chinese pedigree with AR-SRNS was enrolled in the study. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Here we present an autosomal-recessive disorder, nephrotic syndrome type 2 (MIM 600995), in which the pathogenicity of an NPHS2 allele encoding p.Arg229Gln depends on the trans-associated mutation. [hungary.pure.elsevier.com]

Edema is a common presenting symptom but is not required to make the diagnosis. Most children with the nephrotic syndrome present with dramatic edema. They initially are often misdiagnosed as having an allergic reaction. [clinicaladvisor.com]

Patients with homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations commonly present with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome before the age of 6 years and rapidly progress to end-stage kidney disease with a very low prevalence of recurrence after renal transplantation [research-information.bristol.ac.uk]

Clinical presentation The disease may present in the first year of life but usually manifests between the ages of two and seven years. [omicsonline.org]

TREATMENT Treatment for Nephrotic Syndrome Type 2 involves kidney transplantation prior to end-stage renal failure. [evolvegene.com]
