Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, Coats'-like retinopathy, sensorineural deafness and chromosome 4 duplication: a new association.

[coats disease]

We describe the novel association in a girl of nephrotic syndrome due to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, bilateral sensorineural deafness, basal ganglia calcification, bilateral retinopathy similar to that seen in Coats' disease, with de novo duplication of a subtelomeric region of chromosome 4q35. The chromosomal duplication was identified during investigation of a possible association with features of fascio-scapulo-humeral dystrophy (FSHD). This duplication has not previously been reported with FSGS and adds to the expanding number of genetic associations with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome.
