Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Previously, a large proportion of the genetic components predisposing individuals to IgA nephropathy (IgAN) have been unidentified. Familial IgAN is enriched with genetic variations predisposing individuals to the disease. Whole exome sequencing is an effective way to explore disease-causing genes and gene variants. METHODS: We performed exome sequencing on the probands from each of ten IgAN families,...
