2 Figure 1 Glucocorticoid receptor gene haplotypes and their allelic frequencies in 108 children with nephrotic syndrome. DBD, DNA-binding domain; LBD, ligand-binding domain; TAD, transactivating domain. The symbols represent the presence of the minor allele of the SNP indicated.

3 Figure 2 Glucocorticoid receptor gene haplotypes in relation to clinical outcome. Kaplan–Meier estimates of the first relapse, frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome and steroid dependent nephrotic syndrome for carriers and noncarriers of the GR-9β haplotype (a, b, c) and the BclI haplotype (d, e, f). FRNS, frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome; SDNS, steroid dependent nephrotic syndrome.

4 Figure 3 Very low dose dexamethasone suppression test in 90 children with nephrotic syndrome. (a) Serum cortisol levels before and after dexamethasone; (b) correlation of pre- versus post-dexamethasone levels of serum cortisol; (c) post dexamethasone cortisol according to clinical outcome. Dex, dexamethasone; SD, steroid dependence; w/o, without. Kidney International  , DOI: ( /ki ) Copyright © 2014 International Society of Nephrology Terms and Conditions
