Abstract excerpt
The interleukin-1 gene cluster encodes cytokines, which modulate mesangial cell proliferation and matrix expansion, both constituting central factors in the development and progression of immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). A candidate-gene study was performed to examine the association of polymorphisms of the interleukin-1 gene cluster with the risk of progressive IgAN. To gain deeper insights into the...
