Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is a primary glomerulonephritis of common incidence world-wide whose etiology and pathogenesis remain unresolved, although genetic factors are assumed to be involved in the development and progression of this disease. To identify genetic variations that might confer susceptibility to IgAN, we performed a case-control association study involving 389 Japanese IgAN patients and...
