NUP160 genetic mutation linked to steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome According to new research published by Zhe Han, Ph.D., mutations in the NUP160 gene, which encodes one protein component of the nuclear pore complex nucleoporin 160 kD, are involved in steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. Mutations in this gene have not previously been associated with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome.
