any anomaly in the establishment or maintenance of podocyte cell polarity; podocytes exhibit polarity along at least two axes: (i) an apical-basal axis perpendicular to the glomerular basement membrane in which the apical and basolateral membrane domains of the podocyte are separated by a boundary created by the intercellular junctions of the foot process and (ii) a second plane parallel to the basement membrane that determines the unique orientation of interdigitating foot processes
