  • Nephrology
  • Molecular Genetics
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Molecular genetics has significantly impacted clinical medicine, especially nephrology.
  • Identification of gene mutations in single-gene hereditary nephropathies is increasing.
  • Understanding genetic underpinnings is crucial for diagnosing and treating kidney disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review monogenic hereditary renal diseases causing nephrotic syndrome.
  • To discuss hereditary kidney diseases leading to end-stage renal failure.
  • To highlight the role of genetic discoveries in understanding kidney disease pathogenesis.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent findings in molecular genetics and nephrology.
  • Focus on single-gene hereditary nephropathies.
