Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome and hexadactyly in two brothers.
Familial idiopathic nephrotic syndrome is rare. Only about 3% of patients have affected siblings. The association of familial nephrotic syndrome with congenital abnormalities is even more uncommon. To our knowledge this is the first report of the association of steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome and postaxial hexadactyly in two brothers born to consanguineous parents.
