Martin Zenker, Corinne Antignac, Friedhelm Hildebrandt and colleagues report that mutations in OSGEP, TP53RK, TPRKB and LAGE3, genes encoding KEOPS-complex subunits, cause Galloway–Mowat syndrome, a recessive disease characterized by early-onset steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome and microcephaly. Functional studies suggest that the phenotypes result from impaired protein translation, thus leading to endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis.
