NCT ID NCT02194582
First seen Jun 11, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study aims to find the genetic causes of kidney diseases like FSGS and nephrotic syndrome. Researchers will collect saliva and urine samples from up to 2,050 participants, including patients and their family members, as well as healthy volunteers. The goal is to understand why these conditions run in families and what genes may be involved.
