Abstrakt:	The glomerular basement membrane (GBM) is a critical component of the glomerular filtration barrier (GFB), with its thickness directly influencing renal function. While a uniformly thinned GBM can cause hematuria while preserving normal renal function, this condition is typically diagnosed as thin basement membrane nephropathy (TBMN). However, the pathogenesis and potential progression to renal insufficiency of TBMN are not fully understood. In this study, we analyzed clinical cohorts presenting with microscopic hematuria who underwent genetic testing and identified five novel pathogenic FN1 mutations. Through bioinformatics analysis of these variants, expression localization analysis of GBM-related molecules in renal biopsies, and functional studies of the mutants, we found that these variants exhibited gain-of-function characteristics. This led to the excessive deposition of aberrant serum-derived FN1 variants on glomerular endothelial cells rather than cell-type-specific variants. The deposition competitively binds FN1 variants to Integrin β1, disrupting the interaction with Laminin α5β2γ1 and subsequently reducing the expression of key GBM components, resulting in TBMN. This study elucidated, for the first time, the genetic pathogenesis of TBMN caused by FN1 variants. It provides a crucial foundation for understanding the progression of renal dysfunction associated with simple hematuria, highlights the potential for targeted therapeutic strategies, and differentiates TBMN from early-stage Alport syndrome.
