Abstract:This project aimed to screen four variants (SNVs) which were previously identified in the promoter region of the gene NPHS2 in children with nephrotic syndrome, in controls without renal disease. Therefore, we used two different methods after DNA extraction: polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with subsequent sequencing by Sanger method and real time PCR with TaqMan allelic discrimination kit. Only one of the controls presented the c.-268C>G SNV in heterozygosis confirming the rarity of these SNVs .
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.
