618176 | OMIM | Nephrotic syndrome 17 (NPHS17) | A form of nephrotic syndrome, a renal disease clinically characterized by severe proteinuria, resulting in complications such as hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia and edema. Kidney biopsies show non-specific histologic changes such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and diffuse mesangial proliferation. Some affected individuals have an inherited steroid-resistant form that progresses to end-stage renal failure. NPHS17 is an autosomal recessive, steroid-resistant progressive form with onset in the first decade of life. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
