  • Title: Another autosomal recessive form of focal glomerulosclerosis with neurological findings.
    Author: Nakazato H, Hattori S, Karashima S, Kawano T, Seguchi S, Kanahori M, Endo F.
    Journal: Pediatr Nephrol; 2002 Jan; 17(1):16-9. PubMed ID: 11793129.
    Abstract:
    We report four patients in a consanguineous family with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), early onset nephrotic syndrome, eventual end-stage renal failure, psychomotor retardation, seizures and microcephaly or brain atrophy without hiatus hernia. Other characteristic dysmorphic features were convergent strabismus and narrow forehead. One patient had enamel hypoplasia of the upper incisors and deviation of bilateral thumbs to palm side. We could not detect an NPHS2 mutation in this family. We propose that this may be another autosomal recessive syndrome with FSGS and neurological findings.
