I've found the section on Focal Glomerulsclerosis in my Merck Manual under "nephrotic syndrome". There are a wide variety of possible causes, from toxins to infections to heredetary factors.

This is information from 1992, so it's not the most current, but it sounds like a very, very nasty business. I hope you haven't brought it up here for the most obvious possible reason.
