Abstract excerpt
Glomerular diseases (GNs) are responsible for approximately 20% of chronic kidney diseases. Glucocorticoid receptor gene (NR3C1) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are implicated in differences in predisposition to autoimmunity and steroid sensitivity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of the NR3C1 SNPs-rs6198, rs41423247 and rs17209237-in 72 IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and 38 membranous...
