Polygenic risk score from steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome GWAS indicates overlapping genetic basis with steroid-resistant cases

Puntos clave

• The polygenic risk score highlights significant genetic similarities between steroid-sensitive and steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome.
• Findings indicate a genetic basis shared by both nephrotic syndrome types, with implications for targeted therapies.
• Analysis employed data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to identify shared genetic risk factors in nephrotic syndrome.
• The study supports further investigation into genetic overlaps, aiming to improve treatment strategies for both disease types.
