Proteinuria, chronic benign(PROCHOB)

MedGen UID:

C5394384
•
Finding
Synonyms: PROCHOB; PROTEINURIA, CHRONIC BENIGN
 
Gene (location): CUBN (10p13)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0030042
OMIM®: 618884

Definition

Chronic benign proteinuria (PROCHOB) is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by onset of isolated proteinuria in the first decade of life. The proteinuria is nonprogressive; affected individuals do not develop renal disease or impaired kidney function, and they do not have additional associated abnormalities, such as hypertension. The correct diagnosis is important to avoid inefficient or invasive intervention, such as medication or renal biopsy (summary by Bedin et al., 2020). [from OMIM]
