Concept ID:
C4539896
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: NEPHROTIC SYNDROME, TYPE 15; NPHS15
 
Gene (location): MAGI2 (7q21.11)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0033262
OMIM®: 617609

Definition

Nephrotic syndrome type 15 (NPHS15) is an autosomal recessive renal disorder characterized by onset of impaired kidney function with proteinuria in the first months of life. The disease course and severity varies widely. Some patients show rapid progression to end-stage renal failure necessitating transplant, whereas others have a more benign course that can be managed with medication. Renal biopsy tends to show glomerular sclerosis and effacement of podocyte foot processes (summary by Bierzynska et al., 2017). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of nephrotic syndrome and FSGS, see NPHS1 (256300). [from OMIM]
