Abstract
The nephrin gene NPHS1 was cloned in 1998. Studies in families with congenital nephrotic syndrome led to the identification of this critical component of the glomerular slit diaphragm. Studies such as the new one by Santín et al. are expanding our understanding of the spectrum of disease associated with NPHS1 mutations.
