초록
Proteinuria is an important risk factor for renal and cardiovascular disease. It is associated with a risk for glomerulonephritis, chronic kidney disease, and end-stage renal disease. Therefore, if persistent proteinuria is detected, kidney biopsy is considered to diagnose and treat the underlying disease. Recently, variants in the cubilin (CUBN) gene, which is associated with albuminuria, have been reported. This gene encodes cubilin, a membrane glycoprotein receptor expressed in the renal proximal tubules. Cubilin is a component of the megalin and cubilin-amnionless complex that mediates albumin reabsorption into the proximal tubules through endocytosis. A defect in cubilin leads to a reduction in albumin reuptake, resulting in albumin-dominant proteinuria. Although numerous controversies exist, several reports suggest that cubilin defects lead to proteinuria with a high portion of albuminuria but may not impair renal filtration function. If albuminuria due to reduced cubilin function is confirmed as a benign condition, we can consider using genetic studies to detect CUBN mutations in patients with proteinuria and they may not require any treatment or kidney biopsy. Here, we review recent papers on CUBN mutations and discuss the prognosis and management of individuals with this mutation.
Abstract
Proteinuria is an important risk factor for renal and cardiovascular disease. It is associated with a risk for glomerulonephritis, chronic kidney disease, and end-stage renal disease.

Recently, variants in the cubilin (CUBN) gene, which is associated with albuminuria, have been reported. This gene encodes cubilin, a membrane glycoprotein receptor expressed in the renal proximal tubules. Cubilin is a component of the megalin and cubilin-amnionless complex that mediates albumin reabsorption into the proximal tubules through endocytosis. A defect in cubilin leads to a reduction in albumin reuptake, resulting in albumin-dominant proteinuria.
