Abstract

Congenital nephrotic syndrome (CNS) is an autosomal recessive disorder usually detected in the first 3 months of life when the syndromes effects manifest, including edema and a failure to gain weight. A baby boy was admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for prematurity (35 weeks) with unremarkable maternal prenatal laboratory tests. The patient had persistent systemic hypertension, hypoproteinemia, hypoalbuminemia and nephrotic range proteinuria. CNS was diagnosed, and genetic testing showed a homozygous variant, c.3024A>G (AGA>AGG) in exon 22 of the nephrin locus. Bioinformatics analysis suggested the genetic condition was likely a result of malfunctional DNA binding sites of transcription factors FOXL1 and FOXC1.
