Nephrotic syndrome, type 17(NPHS17)

MedGen UID:: 1648294
•Concept ID:: C4748545
•: Disease or Syndrome

Synonyms:	NEPHROTIC SYNDROME, TYPE 17; NPHS17

Gene (location): Gene(s) directly associated with this condition or phenotype.	NUP85 (17q25.1)

Monarch Initiative:	MONDO:0032580
OMIM®:	618176

Definition

Nephrotic syndrome type 17 (NPHS17), a disease of the renal glomerular filter, is characterized by proteinuria, edema, and hypoalbuminemia. It does not respond to drug treatment and inevitably progresses to end-stage renal disease, thus requiring dialysis or renal transplantation for survival. Renal histology shows focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (Braun et al., 2018). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of nephrotic syndrome, see NPHS1 (256300). [from OMIM]

Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome

MedGen UID:: 588369
•Concept ID:: C0403397

Stage 5 chronic kidney disease

MedGen UID:: 384526
•Concept ID:: C2316810
•: Disease or Syndrome

A degree of kidney failure severe enough to require dialysis or kidney transplantation for survival characterized by a severe reduction in glomerular filtration rate (less than 15 ml/min/1.73 m2) and other manifestations including increased serum creatinine.

Short stature

MedGen UID:: 87607
•Concept ID:: C0349588
•: Finding

A height below that which is expected according to age and gender norms. Although there is no universally accepted definition of short stature, many refer to "short stature" as height more than 2 standard deviations below the mean for age and gender (or below the 3rd percentile for age and gender dependent norms).
