Genetics: New link between nuclear pore genes and SRNS

Nature Reviews Nephrology 12, 195 (2016). doi:10.1038/nrneph.2016.29 Author: Jessica K. Edwards A recent study has identified specific mutations in nuclear pore genes that can cause steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS). The new data — recently published in Nature Genetics — suggest a novel link between nuclear pore complex (NPC)-associated proteins and SRNS via the BMP-7-dependent SMAD
