Description : Glomerulopathy with fibronectin deposits (GFND) is a genetically heterogeneous autosomal
dominant disorder characterized clinically by proteinuria, microscopic hematuria,
and hypertension that leads to end-stage renal failure in the second to fifth decade
of life. Pathologic examination shows enlarged glomeruli with mesangial and subendothelial
fibrillary deposits that show strong immunoreactivity to fibronectin (FN1; 135600)
(Castelletti et al., 2008). - Genetic Heterogeneity of Glomerulopathy with Fibronectin
Deposits The GFND1 locus maps to chromosome 1q32. See also GFND2 (601894), which is
caused by mutation in the FN1 gene (135600) on chromosome 2q34.;
