Description : Nephrotic syndrome type 5 is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by very
early onset of progressive renal failure manifest as proteinuria with consecutive
edema starting in utero or within the first 3 months of life. A subset of patients
may develop mild ocular anomalies, such as myopia, nystagmus, and strabismus (summary
by Hasselbacher et al., 2006). Mutation in the LAMB2 gene can also caused Pierson
syndrome (609049), which is characterized by nephrotic syndrome, distinct ocular anomalies,
namely microcoria, and neurodevelopmental delay. For a general phenotypic description
and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of nephrotic syndrome, see NPHS1 (256300).;
