Approach to the evaluation of heritable diseases and update on familial focal segmental glomerulosclerosisMichelle P Winn
Duke Medical Center, Division of Nephrology, Durham, North Carolina 27710, USA
Nephrol Dial Transplant 18:vi14-20. 2003..The existence of hereditary forms of FSGS permits the use of molecular genetics techniques to study the pathogenesis of this disorder...
TRPC6 enhances angiotensin II-induced albuminuriaJason Eckel
Center for Human Genetics, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710, USA
J Am Soc Nephrol 22:526-35. 2011..Our findings suggest that TRPC6 promotes albuminuria, perhaps by promoting angiotensin II-dependent increases in Ca(2+), suggesting that TRPC6 blockade may be therapeutically beneficial in proteinuric kidney disease...
Exclusion of homozygous PLCE1 (NPHS3) mutations in 69 families with idiopathic and hereditary FSGSRasheed Gbadegesin
Department of Pediatrics, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC, 27710, USA
Pediatr Nephrol 24:281-5. 2009..Kindreds appropriate for genome-wide screening are currently being subjected to analysis with the aim of identifying other genetic causes of FSGS...
Unexpected role of TRPC6 channel in familial nephrotic syndrome: does it have clinical implications?Michelle P Winn
Department of Medicine, Duke University Medical Center, Box 2903, Durham, NC 27710, USA

A mutation in the TRPC6 cation channel causes familial focal segmental glomerulosclerosisMichelle P Winn
Department of Medicine, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710, USA
Science 308:1801-4. 2005..Previous work has emphasized the importance of cytoskeletal and structural proteins in proteinuric kidney diseases. Our findings suggest an alternative mechanism for the pathogenesis of glomerular disease...
Association of genetic polymorphisms with risk of renal injury after coronary bypass graft surgeryMark Stafford-Smith
Department of Anesthesiology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710, USA
Am J Kidney Dis 45:519-30. 2005..Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that selected gene variants are associated with acute renal injury, reflected by a serum creatinine level increase after cardiac surgery...
A new locus for familial FSGS on chromosome 2pRasheed Gbadegesin
Department of Pediatrics, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710, USA
J Am Soc Nephrol 21:1390-7. 2010..These data support a new gene locus for familial FSGS on chromosome 2p15. Identification of the mutated gene at this locus may provide further insight into the disease mechanisms of FSGS...

Parkin mutations and susceptibility alleles in late-onset Parkinson's diseaseSofia A Oliveira
Department of Medicine and Center for Human Genetics, Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710, USA
Ann Neurol 53:624-9. 2003..These findings suggest that mutations in Parkin contribute to the common form of PD and that heterozygous mutations, especially those lying in exon 7, act as susceptibility alleles for late-onset form of Parkinson disease...
