Preferred Label : Nephrotic syndrome, type 6;
Symbol : NPHS6;
CISMeF acronym : NPHS6;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Description : The nephrotic syndrome refers to a genetically heterogeneous group of disorders characterized
by proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and edema, resulting in end-stage kidney disease
if untreated. Inherited defects in podocyte structure and function have been observed
in some children with the steroid-resistant subtype of nephrotic syndrome (summary
by Ozaltin et al., 2011). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of
genetic heterogeneity of nephrotic syndrome, see NPHS1 (256300).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the protein-tyrosine phosphatase, receptor-type, O gene (PTPRO,
600579.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Hypoalbuminemia;
Prefixed ID : #614196;
