Besides congenital nephrotic syndrome of the Finnish type (T6), nephrotic syndrome (with histologic appearance of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis) may result from mutations of other podocyte proteins (T7, K4) (Table 1). 

Nephrotic syndrome may complicate the course of many primary and secondary glomerulopathies. Diabetic nephropathy is the most common cause of nephrotic proteinuria (not always accompanied by full-blown nephrotic syndrome). Lupus nephritis and renal amyloidosis are much rarer secondary glomerulopathies resulting in nephrotic syndrome. The prevalence of primary glomerulopathies differs between Blacks and Whites (focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is more common...
