Genetic risk variants for membranous nephropathy: extension of and association with other chronic kidney disease aetiologies
4 Feb 2016
Abstract excerpt
Background: Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults. Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of 300 000 genotyped variants identified MN-associated loci at HLA-DQA1 and PLA2R1. Methods: We used a combined approach of genotype imputation, GWAS, human leucocyte antigen (HLA) imputation and extension to other aetiologies of chronic kidney disease (CKD) to investigate...
