Glomerulopathy with fibronectin deposits (GFND; OMIM: 601894) is a very rare inherited kidney disease caused by pathogenic variants in the FN1 gene. Only 9 exonic pathogenic variants in FN1, 9 at the heparin-binding site, and 1 at the integrin-binding site have been reported. No intronic variants in FN1 have been detected.
