Congenital nephrotic syndrome is most
frequently genetic in aetiology, with a
minority being secondary to congenital
infections such as syphilis or toxoplasmosis.

Nephrotic syndrome
in the 1st year of life
Poorer Prognosis
than
Childhood Nephrotic
syndrome
Congenital nephrotic syndrome (CNS)
is defined as the triad of nephrotic
range proteinuria (>200mg/mmol
creatinine), hypoalbuminemia and
clinically detectable edema, occurring
in the first three months of life

85% of cases of congenital nephrotic
syndrome are due to gene mutation of
4 genes

Nephrotic syndrome-
causing genes
9/4/2020
Congenital Nephrotic Syndrome
Prof . Dr. Saad S Al Ani
11
1. Nephrin (NPHS1)
This was the first gene identified which
causes congenital nephrotic syndrome of
the Finnish type. Nephrin is a major
component of the slit diaphragm.

Nephrin
2. Podocin (NPHS2)
This was the next gene identified and is the
most commonly mutated gene causing
steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome.

Podocin
3. WT1
This is the Wilms Tumor gene which acts
as a transcriptional activator or repressor
and is essential for proper development of
the genitourinary system.

Prof . Dr. Saad S Al Ani
16
https://www.renalfellow.org/2008/10/03/congenital-nephrotic-syndrome/

components of the glomerular basement
membrane.

Laminin
5. PLCE1
• this surprising gene–which unlike the
others does not play an important
structural role in the slit diaphragm–
encodes an isoform of phospholipase
epsilon gene.
• Individuals with this mutation actually
show an increased responsiveness
towards steroid therapy.

6. alpha-actinin-4
This gene encodes an actin filament-cross
linking protein which can cause congenital
FSGS.
