Mutations in the NUP93, NUP107 and NUP160 genes cause steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome in Chinese children
ConclusionThis report indicates that biallelic variants inNUP93,NUP107 andNUP160 can cause severe early-onset SRNS, which rapidly progresses to ESKD. Moreover, these findings expand the spectrum of phenotypes and genotypes and highlight the importance of next-generation sequencing in elucidating the molecular basis of SRNS and allowing rational treatment for affected individuals.
