[Nephropathy gonadal dysgenesis--or incomplete Drash syndrome?].
This is a report about a phenotypical normal girl with nephropathy and gonadal dysgenesis. At the age of 2 years 8 months she presented with steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome. Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis was found by biopsy. Because of delayed puberty karyotyping was performed, which revealed 46 XY. Thirteen years after onset of proteinuria she reached end stage renal failure. Gonadal dysgenesis and nephropathy are often indistinguishable from incomplete Drash syndrome. Children with early nephropathy of unknown origin or gonadal dysgenesis should be observed for development of Wilms tumor. When chronic nephropathies are present in girls, karyotyping should be considered.
