ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides for compositions and methods for detecting susceptibility for basement membrane disease, in particular Congenital nephrotic syndromes of the Finnish type. The present invention provides for nucleic acids and protein for use in methods and compositions for the diagnosis of disease and identification of small molecule therapeutics for treatment of such disease, in particular of proteinuria associated with kidney disease.
