Abstract
The ANKFY1 gene encodes a protein that belongs to double zinc finger proteins involved in endocytosis. Only one family with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome has been reported carrying a homozygous variant in ANKFY1 so far. Here we describe the second case where a 13-year-old boy presented with infantile-onset proteinuria and movement disorder. Whole-exome sequencing showed compound heterozygous variants (NM_001330063.2: c.2753C>G; p.Ser918Ter, and c.3287-11_3287-10del) in ANKFY1. In vitro functional study revealed the two variants led to reduced protein expression level of ANKFY1. This is the first case of co-existence of renal and nervous system phenotypes in a child with variants in ANKFY1, suggesting that bi-allelic variants in ANKFY1 might be associated with a new neuro-renal syndrome.

About the Journal
Clinical Kidney Journal: Clinical and Translational Nephrology (ckj), an official journal of the ERA-EDTA (European Renal Association-European Dialysis and Transplant Association), is a fully open access, online only journal publishing bimonthly. The journal is an essential educational and training resource integrating clinical, translational and educational research into clinical practice. ckj aims to contribute to a translational research culture among nephrologists and kidney pathologists that helps close the gap between basic researchers and practicing clinicians and promote sorely needed innovation in the Nephrology field. All research articles in this journal have undergone peer review.
