PMID 24814193 - Gee et al 2014 - performed homozygosity mapping, whole-exome sequencing, and multiplex PCR followed by next-generation sequencing. They found biallelic mutations in EMP2 (epithelial membrane protein 2) in four individuals from three unrelated families affected by SRNS or SSNS. Consanguineous Turkish family A1679 had a homozygous truncating variant (c.184C>T [p.Gln62∗]) in EMP2 which segregated in the condition. In another Turkish family (A150) the affected individual was compound heterozygous for 2 variants in EMP2 - 21C>G, p.Phe7Leu and
c.184C>T, p.Gln62∗. In a third African-American family (A4601) the proband was homozygous for a missense mutation c.28G>A, p.Ala10Thr. All mutations were absent from >190 ethnically matched healthy control individuals and from >8,600 European control individuals in the NHLBI EVS

Functional studies showed that EMP2 exclusively localized to glomeruli in the kidney. Knockdown of emp2 in zebrafish resulted in pericardial effusion, supporting the pathogenic role of mutated EMP2 in human NS. Knockdown of EMP2 in podocytes and endothelial cells resulted in an increased amount of CAVEOLIN-1 and decreased cell proliferation.
