Background Several recent studies in patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy
(iMN) from Western and Asian counties showed that some single nucleotide polymorphisms …

The associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in PLA2R1 and HLA-DQA1, as
well as HLA-DRB1* 15: 01-DQB1* 06: 02 haplotype with idiopathic membranous …

Background Antibodies to M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) correlate with clinical
activity of primary membranous nephropathy (PMN). Risk alleles in PLA2R1 and HLA-DQA1 …

Although recent studies showed anti-PLA2R antibody plays a crucial role in idiopathic
membranous nephropathy (IMN), detailed HLA mapping and interaction between the HLA …

Background: Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a common cause of nephrotic syndrome in
adults. Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of 300 000 genotyped variants …

Objectives: Specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the M-type phospholipase
A2 receptor-1 (PLA2R1) are associated with increased risk of idiopathic membranous …

Background Idiopathic membranous nephropathy is a major cause of the nephrotic
syndrome in adults, but its etiologic basis is not fully understood. We investigated the genetic …

Background: Although, several studies have assessed the association of the phospholipase
A2 receptor (PLA2R) and HLA-DQA1 SNPs with primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) …

Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (MN) is associated with HLA; however, the HLA allele
involved remains unknown. To identify the HLA risk alleles associated with phospholipase …

Primary (or idiopathic) membranous nephropathy is an organ-specific autoimmune disease
in which circulating antibodies to a conformation-dependent epitope in the target antigen …
