BackgroundEstablishing a molecular genetic diagnosis of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)/steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) can be useful for predicting post-transplant recurrence. Monogenic causes are reportedly present in approximately 20–30% of patients with FSGS/SRNS. However, the characteristics of patients who are likely to have a monogenic cause remain to be determined.MethodsPediatric recipients with SRNS and/or biopsy-proven FSGS who underwent their first kidney transplantation at our center between 1999 and 2019 were analyzed. Patients with secondary FSGS/SRNS were excluded. The recipients were divided into three groups: familial/syndromic, presumed primary, and undetermined FSGS/SRNS. Patients who met all of the following criteria were categorized as having presumed primary FSGS/SRNS: (i) nephrotic syndrome, (ii) complete or partial remission with initial steroid therapy and/or additional immunosuppressive therapies, and (iii) diffuse foot process effacement on electron microscopy in the native kidney biopsy. All patients underwent genetic testing using next-generation sequencing.ResultsTwenty-four patients from 23 families were analyzed in this study. Pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in FSGS/SRNS-related genes were identified in four of four families, zero of eight families, and 10 of 11 families with familial/syndromic, presumed primary, and undetermined FSGS/SRNS, respectively. Post-transplant recurrence only occurred in patients with presumed primary FSGS/SRNS.ConclusionsOur systematic approach based on precise clinicopathological findings including nephrotic syndrome, treatment responses, and diffuse foot process effacement might be useful to differentiate pediatric kidney transplant recipients with FSGS/SRNS who are likely to have a monogenic cause from patients who are not, and to predict post-transplant recurrence.Graphical abstractA higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.
