A Novel Insight into the Role of PLA2R and THSD7A in Membranous Nephropathy
14 Jul 2021
Abstract excerpt
Membranous nephropathy (MN) is an organ-restricted autoimmune disease mainly caused by circulating autoantibodies against podocyte antigens, including the M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) and thrombospondin domain-containing 7A (THSD7A). Antibodies against PLA2R are present in 70%-80% and against THSD7A in 2% of adult patients, which provides a paradigm shift in molecular diagnosis and management...
