Abstract
Denys–Drash Syndrome (DDS) is characterized by the triad of congenital or infantile nephropathy (mesangial sclerosis), urogenital malformation and Wilms tumor. Most DDS patients carry WT1 mutations in exon 8 or 9. Here, we report a case of DDS who carried the WT1 missense mutation in exon 9 and presented with early chronic kidney disease and nephrotic syndrome
