A missense mutation in podocin leads to early and severe renal disease in mice

Mutations in the NPHS2 gene, encoding podocin, are responsible for familial autosomal recessive and sporadic cases of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. We have successfully generated a mouse model in which the common p.R138Q mutation found in nephrotic patients is expressed in the kidney. Homozy...
