Abstract

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) with variants in the CRB2 gene is a rather rare condition, and there are only a few reports of its severe course and no one of mild one. The aim of the communication is to demonstrate the phenotypic features of nephrotic syndrome caused by mutations in the CRB2 gene. On the basis of the nephrological and molecular-genetic departments of the Federal State Autonomous Institution “National Medical Research Center of Children’s Health” we performed retro- and prospective study of the genetic causes of primary steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome, included 250 children. Among 250 children, only two had causative nucleotide variants in the CRB2 gene (0.8% of all children with steroid-resistant and 1.21% of children with identified genetic causes of SRNS). Children had a different course of the disease and the severity of extrarenal manifestations
