congenital nephrotic syndrome. At least 170 mutations in the NPHS2 gene have been found to cause congenital nephrotic syndrome. This condition is a kidney disorder that begins in infancy and typically leads to irreversible kidney failure (end-stage renal disease) by early childhood.
Kids with too much protein in their urine (pee), sudden weight gain, and swelling in various body parts could have something called nephrotic syndrome. Nephrotic syndrome happens when tiny structures in the kidneys called glomeruli (gluh-MARE-you-lie) stop working properly and let too much protein enter the kidneys. In kids, this is usually due to a kidney condition called minimal change disease that affects the glomeruli. Nephrotic syndrome is more common in boys than girls, especially in kids younger than age 5. Fortunately, most cases (including those caused by minimal change disease) can be effectively treated with medicine.
