Abstract
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is one of the most common pathological type of nephrotic syndrome. It is caused by podocyte injury from many factors. There are at least 10 single gene diseases of FSGS due to mutations in ACTN4, TRPC6, CD2AP, APOL1, INF2, MYO1E, PAX2, ANLN, CRB2 and LMX1B. FSGS is also present in some hereditary glomerular diseases and tubulo-interstitial diseases. The review summarized the genes, phenotypes and treatments of FSGS.
