abstract：BACKGROUND:Familial nephrotic syndrome (NS) has both autosomal dominant and recessive forms of inheritance. Recent studies in families with an autosomal dominant form of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) have been at odds concerning linkage to chromosome 19q13 (Mathis et al, Kidney Int 53:282-286, 1998; Winn et...
