What Role Do Genetics Play in NPHS1-Related Conditions?
NPHS1-related CNS is an autosomal recessive condition, meaning that a child must inherit two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent, to develop the disorder. Genetic counseling is recommended for families with a history of CNS to understand the risks and to discuss options such as prenatal testing or preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for future pregnancies.
