GAIN-OF-FUNCTION, FOCAL SEGMENTAL GLOMERULOSCLEROSIS TRPC6 MUTATION MINIMALLY AFFECTS SUSCEPTIBILITY TO RENAL INJURY IN SEVERAL MOUSE MODELS

Gain-of-function, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis Trpc6 mutation minimally affects susceptibility to renal injury in several mouse models

Mutations in TRPC6 are a cause of autosomal dominant focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in humans.Many of these mutations are known to have a gain-of-function effect on the non-specific cation channel function of TRPC6.In vitro studies have suggested these mutations affect several signaling pathways, but in vivo studies have largely compared wild-t
