Mice lacking CD2AP exhibit a congenital nephrotic syndrome characterized by extensive foot process effacement |

Mice lacking CD2AP die at 6 weeks of age. Mice with CD2AP haploinsufficiency developed glomerular changes at 9 months and had increased susceptibility to glomerular injury by nephrotoxic antibodies or immune complexes |
