摘要
Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: Recent advances in molecular genetics have helped in unraveling the genetic component of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome in children. Similar advances in understanding the environmental triggers and immune defects will help better understand the pathogenesis of the disease. It is hoped that the above advancements will ultimately lead to targeted therapy and cure of the disease.
