Loss of GalNAc-T14 links O-glycosylation defects to alterations in B cell homing in IgA nephropathy
18 Mar 2025
Abstract excerpt
Aberrant O-glycosylation of the IgA1 hinge region is a characteristic finding in patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and is thought to contribute to immune-complex formation and kidney injury. Other studies have suggested that abnormalities in mucosal immunity and lymphocyte homing are major contributors to disease. We identified a family with IgAN segregating a heterozygous predicted loss-of-function (LOF)...
