Abstract excerpt
We identified a family with a UMOD gene mutation (C106F) resulting in glomerular inflammation and complement deposition. To determine if the observed phenotype is due to immune system activation by mutant uromodulin, a mouse strain with a homologous cysteine to phenylalanine mutation (C105F) in the UMOD gene was generated using CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing and the effect of this mutation on mononuclear phagocytic...
