Nephrotic Syndrome, Type 2

Assembled from catalogue records November 4, 2026

Nephrotic Syndrome, Type 2, as genome-wide studies have reported it: 43 positions from 1 study. Every figure comes from the studies themselves, gathered by code from the GWAS Catalog and updated as the records grow.

What this condition connects to

Prevalence
No prevalence figure appears here: association records do not measure how common a condition is.
Inheritance
Many positions, each with a small effect: 43 positions across 1 study, the pattern of a polygenic condition. The records do not give a heritability, and this page does not supply one.

This is the record of what genome-wide association studies have found for Nephrotic Syndrome, Type 2 (the GWAS Catalog's "Nephrotic syndrome, type 2"): 43 positions reported by 1 study. The page is put together by code from the catalogue's records and the studies' own listings, and it is rebuilt whenever the records change, so it always reflects them as they stand.

The studies behind the positions

A study. It contributes 43 positions: rs1057516414 (NPHS2), rs1057516523 (NPHS2), rs1057517164 (NPHS2), rs1060499703 (NPHS2), rs1167223941 (NPHS2), rs1212702104 (NPHS2), rs12568913 (NPHS2), rs1277040907 (NPHS2), and 35 more.

The positions

The catalogue maps the 43 positions to 1 gene: NPHS2. That mapping says where a position sits, in a gene or beside one — not what it does. For what each study measured, follow its citation above.

What this page is, and is not

It is a record of what genome-wide studies have reported about Nephrotic Syndrome, Type 2, kept current by code. It is not a description of the condition, an estimate of how common it is, or guidance of any kind — a page that took those from association records would be inventing them. Each variant page linked here carries that study's own record for the position in fixed sentences, and ClinVar's record where one exists.

Clinical detail

Diagnosis happens in a clinic

A genotype does not diagnose Nephrotic Syndrome, Type 2; a clinician does. No guideline uses the 43 variants on this page to predict it, screen for it or confirm it.

Everything here comes from population-level association records, put together by code. Those records compare groups of people; they do not examine anyone, and they give no guidance on care. For symptoms, testing or treatment, ask a clinician.

Questions about Nephrotic Syndrome, Type 2

What is Nephrotic Syndrome, Type 2?

In the GWAS Catalog, Nephrotic Syndrome, Type 2 is filed as "Nephrotic syndrome, type 2". Rather than define it, this page lists the genome-wide findings: 43 positions from 1 study, each with its study's sample and citation.

Is Nephrotic Syndrome, Type 2 genetic?

Genome-wide studies have reported 43 associated positions. Each common variant has a small effect, and an association in a population is not a cause in any one person.

Which genes are linked to Nephrotic Syndrome, Type 2 on this page?

The positions lie in or near 1 gene: NPHS2. A mapped gene is the catalogue's location for a position, not a mechanism.

Can these variants predict whether I will get Nephrotic Syndrome, Type 2?

No. They are population-level findings of small effect. Nephrotic Syndrome, Type 2 is diagnosed by a clinician, and no guideline uses a genotype to predict it.
