Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Primary membranous nephritis (PMN) is an autoimmune disease induced by the deposit of antibodies (Ab) to the phospholipase receptor A2 receptor (PLA2R) on podocytes. In this context, we aimed to assess the relationships between anti-PLA2R Ab, PLA2R rs4664308 SNP, PLA2R mRNA levels and PMN susceptibility and outcome. METHODS: Sixty-eight PMN patients, 30 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with...
