  1. Values are presented as median (interquartile range) or numbers (%).
  2. The number of analyzed subjects differed for each parameter because of the missing variable data of the affected family members.
  3. AUA, asymptomatic urinary abnormality; RASi, renin-angiotensin system inhibitor; CI, confidence interval.
  4. aThree patients presented with nephrotic syndrome and macroscopic hematuria.
  5. bUrine protein to creatinine ratio > 0.2 mg/mg.
  6. cIt is estimated by Kaplan–Meier analysis.
