We report the case of a 49-year-old Chinese woman with nephrotic syndrome, characterized by normal kidney function but poor response to hormonal and immunosuppressive therapy, indicative of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. Through renal biopsy, the patient was diagnosed as havingfocal segmental glomerulosclerosis (perihilar type), and subsequent whole-exome sequencing identified a pathogenic frameshift variant concerning the TBC domain of the gene. This patient represents the first late-onset Chinese female who was found to carry a novel, pathogenic variant in the gene .

Background: The association between congenital heart disease and chronic kidney disease is well known. Various mechanisms of kidney damage associated with congenital heart disease have been established. The etiology of kidneydisease has commonly been considered to be secondary to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), however, this has only been demonstrated in case reports and not in observational or clinical trials.

Focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a leading cause of nephrotic syndrome in both adults and children. The "Columbia classification of FSGS" includes five variants; not otherwise specified (NOS), tip, perihilar, cellular, and collapsing variants that may have different prognostic and therapeutic implications. This is a retrospective study and was carried out in the Department of Histopathology, Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad.
