Congenital nephrotic syndrome (CNS) is an autosomal recessive disorder usually detected in the first 3 months of life when the syndromes effects manifest, including edema and a failure to gain weight. A baby boy was admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for prematurity (35 weeks) with unremarkable maternal prenatal laboratory tests. The patient had persistent systemic hypertension, hypoproteinemia, hypoalbuminemia and nephrotic range proteinuria. CNS was diagnosed, and genetic testing showed a homozygous variant, c.3024A>G (AGA>AGG) in exon 22 of the nephrin locus. Bioinformatics analysis suggested the genetic condition was likely a result of malfunctional DNA binding sites of transcription factors FOXL1 and FOXC1.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) rarely occurs during childhood and, with few exceptions, should be considered as a disease of sick children. Current recommendations concerning the duration of anticoagulant treatment for paediatric VTE are essentially based on the results of clinical trials conducted in adults. Yet the underlying medical conditions, incidence, and anatomical locations of the disease, as well as the rates of unprovoked VTE, morbidity, and mortality, differ between adults and children.

This study aimed to discuss the pathogenic hereditary factors of children with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) in Guangxi, China. We recruited 89 patients with SRNS or infantile NS from five major pediatric nephrology centers in Guangxi, and conducted a retrospective analysis of clinical data. Whole-exome sequencing analysis was also performed on all patients.

NPHS1 and NPHS2 are kidney gene components that encode for nephrin and podocin, respectively. They play a role in the progression of congenital (CNS) and steroid-resistant (SRNS) nephrotic syndrome. Hence, this study aimed to determine the prevalence and renal outcomes of NPHS mutations among pediatric patients with CNS and SRNS.

Article Synopsis
- * Diagnostic protocols for increased nuchal translucency include rapid tests for aneuploidy, cytogenetic analysis, and in some cases, whole exome sequencing (WES), though its role in isolated cases is still debated.
- * In a study involving two euploid fetuses with isolated increased nuchal translucency, whole genome sequencing revealed variants in the NUP107 gene linked to severe nephrotic syndrome, highlighting the importance of advanced genetic testing
