Tubuloglomerular Disease With Cone-Shaped Epiphyses Associated With Hypomorphic Variant and a Novel p.Cys14Arg in the TTC21B Gene: A Case Report
Monogenic nephrotic syndrome (NS) is associated with a resistance to initial glucocorticoid therapy and causative variants, which may be found in several genes influencing podocyte stability and kidney development. The TTC21B gene, which encodes the retrograde intraflagellar transport protein IFT139...
