Susceptibility
  • to nondiabetic end-stage renal disease
  • to minimal change glomerulonephritis, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis or membranous nephropathy
  • to late-onset sporadic focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
  • Variant & Polymorphism other
  • variants may play a role in the development of nondiabetic end-stage renal disease
  • R229Q, present with a relatively higher allele frequency (~3p100), could behave as a common susceptibility factor to minimal change nephrotic syndrome (Shono 2009)
  • R138Q carriers were more frequent among late-onset sporadic focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (McKenzie 2007)
  • Candidate gene
