Prenatal ultrasound of a fetus with congenital nephrotic syndrome of Finnish type caused by a homozygous NPHS1 variant c.2443C>T. Fetal ultrasound at 28 weeks of gestation shows a slight increase in size and echogenicity of the kidneys, with the left measuring 4.2 cm × 2.3 cm × 2.1 cm in length (a), the right 4.3 cm × 2.3 cm × 2.6 cm (b). DNA sequencing shows a homozygous NPHS1 c.2443C>T variant in the fetus, a heterozygous state in both parents (c)
