The NEPTUNE study captures high-resolution clinical phenotypes over 4-6 monthly visits, including 473 parameters across 1053 data fields. Key focus areas include demographics, socio-economic status, birth and family histories, kidney disease progression, and quality of life metrics captured through patient-reported outcomes (PROMIS). This extensive dataset includes detailed histopathology using virtual microscopy and sophisticated processes for sample procurement, analyzing DNA, RNA, and serum from patients. Funded research targets gene sequencing and transcriptome analysis, advancing our understanding of nephrotic syndrome.
