Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The course of glomerulonephritis varies even within the same histological entity, which suggest that genetic factors determine the progression of inflammatory renal diseases. We studied a potential relationship between the C242T gene polymorphism of p22(phox), a subunit of the NAD(P)H oxidase, and frequency as well as progression of immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy. Patients with lupus nephritis...
