The severity of the neurological effects as well as the presence of renal disorders is variable among patients.

Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed periventricular leukomalacia in one patient and normal in the other two. All three patients demonstrated nephrotic range proteinuria (NRP) or nephrotic syndrome (NS) with normal renal function during follow-up. There was a total of 27 patients with <jats:italic>TRIM8<\/jats:italic>-related NRS have been identified to date. The most common clinical features are renal diseases (89%), DD (89%), followed by epilepsy (78%). 67% of patients eventually progressed to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Focal seizure was the most frequent seizure type (57%). 52% of patients presented drug-resistant epilepsy. 64% of patients exhibited non-specific brain MRI abnormalities. Brain atrophy was the most common change (50%). Two patients with TRIM8 variants closer to the N-terminal had neurological diseases without renal damage. Five patients with <jats:italic>TRIM8<\/jats:italic> variants closer to the C-terminal had no severe neurological diseases. Seven patients had Gln459* variant which is the most common variant (7\/27, 25.9%). The severity of the renal and neurological damage of the seven patients was variable.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study expands the number of individuals with confirmed NRS due to pathogenic variants in <jats:italic>TRIM8<\/jats:italic>.
