These findings demonstrate that Crb2 abnormalities caused by these mutations are the mechanism of steroid-resistant NS. Although CRB2 mutations previously found in SRNS patients have been clustered within the extracellular tenth EGF-like domain of this protein, the present results expand the variation of CRB2 mutations that cause SRNS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
