Note that genes can be divided both by mode of inheritance, and by presence or absence of extrarenal manifestations. Several genes have been identified to cause both isolated FSGS in which mutations are associated with manifestations only in kidney or syndromic FSGS in which mutations are also associated with extrarenal manifestations
