Disease relevance of NPHS1

 

Psychiatry related information on NPHS1

  • Gait disturbance and dementia were quantified by an NPH scale (NPHS) and handicap by the modified Rankin scale (MRS) [6].
 

High impact information on NPHS1

  • Congenital nephrotic syndrome of the Finnish type (NPHS1) is an autosomal-recessive disorder, characterized by massive proteinuria in utero and nephrosis at birth [7].
  • The NPHS1 gene product, termed nephrin, is a 1241-residue putative transmembrane protein of the immunoglobulin family of cell adhesion molecules, which by Northern and in situ hybridization was shown to be specifically expressed in renal glomeruli [7].
  • Structure of the gene for congenital nephrotic syndrome of the finnish type (NPHS1) and characterization of mutations [8].
  • 1. In the present study, the genomic structure of the nephrin gene was analyzed, and 35 NPHS1 patients were screened for the presence of mutations in the gene [8].
  • CNF represents a unique, apparently specific dysfunction of the renal basement membranes, and the estimated incidence of CNF in the isolated population of Finland is 1 in 8,000 newborns [9].

Associations of NPHS1 with chemical compounds

  • Mutations in the nephrin gene (NPHS1) lead to congenital Finnish nephropathy, whereas alterations in the level of nephrin expression have been identified in a wide range of acquired glomerular diseases [15].
  • We conclude that renal transplantation substantially improves the triglyceride and cholesterol abnormalities in CNF but significant abnormalities still persist [24].
  • The HN Ca value (2.80 +/- 0.18 mmol/L) was similar to those in PHP and NPHN subjects [25].
  • Increases of lipoperoxidation products MDA and 4-HNE were constantly found in the glomeruli of CNF [26].
  • Chemotherapy consisted of three presurgical cycles of CNF [cyclophosphamide at 600 mg/m2, mitoxantrone (Novantrone) at 10 mg/m2 and 5-fluorouracil at 600 mg/m2] administered every 2 weeks, plus G-CSF (5 microg/kg s.c./day on days 7-12) [27].
 

Other interactions of NPHS1

  • In mutant kidneys, NPHS1 and NPHS2 were only moderately downregulated (25 to 30%) at birth but not at 2 or 4 months [28].
  • Taken together, these results suggest that WT1 may be required for regulation of the NPHS1 gene in vivo [15].
  • In addition, mice lacking NEPH1 develop a nephrotic syndrome that resembles NPHS mutations, suggesting that all three proteins are essential for the integrity of glomerular podocytes [29].
  • The remaining five S/MARs were found within intronic sequences of APLP1, HSPOX1, MAG, and NPHS1 genes, and can be tentatively characterized as regulatory S/MARs [30].
  • BACKGROUND: Congenital nephrotic syndrome of the Finnish type (CNF) is an autosomal recessive disorder mainly caused by mutations in the nephrin gene (NPHS1) [31].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of NPHS1

  • Our findings provide the first evidence for a functional inter-relationship between NPHS1 and NPHS2 in human nephrotic disease, thus underscoring their critical role in the regulation of glomerular filtration [1].
  • A total of 464 Japanese subjects, including 267 patients with histologically proven IgAN and 197 healthy controls with normal urinalysis, were genotyped for the NPHS1 G349A, G2289A, and T3315C polymorphisms [18].
  • METHODS: The pathologic lesions and expression of profibrotic and proinflammatory factors in nephrectomized NPHS1 kidneys were studied by immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, and cytokine antibody array [32].
  • Methods and Results: We describe two different molecular methods for the detection of the NPHS1 mutations: a PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and a dual-color oligonucleotide ligation assay (OLA) [33].
  • Direct sequencing was performed after PCR amplification of all 29 and 8 exons of the NPHS1 and NPHS2 genes, respectively [34].
