Abstract excerpt
Increasing evidence points to the importance of aberrant O-glycosylated immunoglobulin A1 (IgA1) in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN), a disease widely considered to be a polygenic disorder. We earlier found that haplotypes in two key glycosyltransferase genes, C1GALT1 and ST6GALNAC2, were associated with susceptibility to IgAN. Here we measured the genetic interaction of variants in C1GALT1 and...
