The Nephrotic Syndrome Gene Panel by NGS analyzes genes associated with hereditary forms of nephrotic syndrome and related kidney disorders. Metropolis Healthcare uses advanced sequencing on an EDTA blood sample to detect mutations that affect kidney filtration and protein regulation. This test helps determine the underlying cause, guide treatment decisions, and predict disease progression. It is valuable for patients with early-onset, steroid-resistant, or recurrent kidney disease
