PG - 1481-1486 LID - 10.1007/s00431-020-03634-3 [doi] AB - Steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) is the most common form of nephrotic syndrome in childhood. Cases with the familial occurrence of SSNS suggest that genetics may play a role in the disease. Human leucocyte antigen (HLA) alleles have been associated with SSNS. We present genetic findings in nine families (44 participants), each with at least two affected siblings. A total of 19 patients were affected with familial SSNS. Six of nine families showed linkage to markers on chromosome 6p (27.29-33.97 Mbp) (Hg19), especially to markers D6S1629 and D6S1560 on HLA dense region in this location. Interestingly, we also found linkage of disease phenotype of familial SSNS on chromosome 15 (91.7-96.9 Mbp) (Hg19) with a logarithm of odds (LOD) score Z = 3.02.Conclusion: Our findings confirm the linkage of HLA markers on chromosome 6, which strengthens the association of HLA alleles in SSNS. What is Known: * Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles have been associated with idiopathic steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS). Only few studies have investigated the association between HLA alleles and familial SSNS. What is New: * We present evidence of linkage of familial SSNS to chromosome 6p (27.29-33.97 Mbp) (Hg19), especially to markers D6S1629 and D6S1560 on HLA dense region in this location. We also found linkage of the disease phenotype of familial SSNS on chromosome 15 (91.7-96.9 Mbp) (Hg19) with a logarithm of odds (LOD) score of Z = 3.02 following autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.
