Steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome in two families

Osamu Motoyama et al. Clin Exp Nephrol. 2009 Apr.

Abstract

Few reports of familial cases of steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) are available. Of 123 children with SSNS, four cases in two families are presented. Two sisters and a father and his daughter developed SSNS. The incidence of SSNS siblings in Japan seems to be similar to the incidence reported in other countries. SSNS in two generations is rare. To our knowledge, cases of SSNS in a parent and a child in Japan have not been reported.
