A number of genetic mutations in genes, which encode for the components of the glomerular filtration barrier have been identified. We investigated mutations in NPHS1, NPHS2, PLCE1 (NPHS3), and WT1 genes that relate to the disease in Vietnamese patients. Materials and Methods: We performed genetic analysis of two unrelated patients, who were diagnosed with CNS in the Vietnam National Children\u2019s Hospital with different disease status. The entire coding region and adjacent splice sites of these genes were amplified and sequenced using the Sanger method. The sequencing data were analyzed and compared with the NPHS1, NPHS2, PLCE1, and WT1 gene sequences published in Ensembl (ENSG00000161270, ENSG00000116218, ENSG00000138193, and ENSG00000184937, respectively) using BioEdit software to detect mutations. Results: We detected a new variant p.Ser607Arg and two other (p.Glu117Lys and p.Ser1105Ser) in the NPHS1 gene, as well as two variants (p.Arg548Leu, p.Pro1575Arg) in the PLCE1 gene. No mutations were detected in the NPHS2 and WT1 genes. Patient 1, who presented a heterozygous genotype of p.Ser1105Ser and p.Arg548Leu had a mild disease status but patient 2, who presented a homozygous genotype of these alleles, had a severe phenotype. Conclusions: These results suggest that variants p.Ser1105Ser (in NPHS1 gene) and p.Arg548Leu (in PLCE1 gene) in the homozygous form might play a role in the development of the disease in patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina55040102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,12]],"date-time":"2019-04-12T12:55:04Z","timestamp":1555073704000},"page":"102","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["The Role of p.Ser1105Ser (in NPHS1 Gene) and p.Arg548Leu (in PLCE1 Gene) with Disease Status of Vietnamese Patients with Congenital Nephrotic Syndrome: Benign or Pathogenic?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"55","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9294-6722","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nguyen","family":"Thi Kim Lien","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Genome Research, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, 18, Hoang Quoc Viet str., Caugiay, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pham","family":"Van Dem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Science, Vietnam National University, 334, Nguyen Trai str., Thanhxuan, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"},{"name":"Bachmai Hospital, Ministry of Health, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nguyen","family":"Thu Huong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vietnam National Children\u2019s Hospital, Ministry of Health, 18\/879 La Thanh str., Dongda, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tran","family":"Minh Dien","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vietnam National Children\u2019s Hospital, Ministry of Health, 18\/879 La Thanh str., Dongda, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ta","family":"Thi Thu Thuy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hanoi Open University, Ministry of Education and Training, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nguyen","family":"Van Tung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Genome Research, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, 18, Hoang Quoc Viet str., Caugiay, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"},{"name":"Faculty of Biotechnology, Graduate University of Science and Technology, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6284-5813","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nguyen","family":"Huy Hoang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Genome Research, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, 18, Hoang Quoc Viet str., Caugiay, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"},{"name":"Faculty of Biotechnology, Graduate University of Science and Technology, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nguyen","family":"Thi Quynh Huong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"L\u2019H\u00f4pital Fran\u00e7ais de Hanoi, Ministry of Health, 1, Phuong Mai str., Dongda, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Avner, E.D., Harmon, W.E., and Niaudet, P.
