Novel TBC1D8B Variant in a 6-Month-Old Boy With Steroid-Sensitive Nephrotic Syndrome: A Case Report

A structural abnormality or dysfunction of podocytes is the major cause of nephrotic syndrome (NS). The TBC1D8B protein interacts with nephrin, a podocyte slit diaphragm protein, regulates vesicle transport, and functions in the pathogenesis of NS. We report a novel potentially pathogenic variant in...
