Meta-analysis identifies multiple loci associated with kidney function–related traits in east Asian populations

Yukinori Okada, +414 more
- 01 Aug 2012 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for kidney function–related traits, including 71,149 east Asian individuals from 18 studies in 11 population-, hospital- or family-based cohorts, conducted as part of the Asian Genetic Epidemiology Network (AGEN), identified 17 loci newly associated with kidney function-related traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic loci influencing kidney function and chronic kidney disease

John C. Chambers, +102 more
- 01 May 2010 - 
TL;DR: Using genome-wide association, common variants at 2p12–p13, 6q26, 17q23 and 19q13 associated with serum creatinine associated with chronic kidney disease are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-C1q autoantibodies deposit in glomeruli but are only pathogenic in combination with glomerular C1q-containing immune complexes

TL;DR: It is shown that renal damage was dependent not only on glomerular C1q and complement activation but also on Fcgamma receptors, which provides an explanation why anti-C1q antibodies are especially pathogenic in patients with SLE.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maturation of dendritic cells abrogates C1q production in vivo and in vitro.

TL;DR: It is concluded that immDC, a cell with tolerogenic properties, is a rich source of active C1q in vitro and in vivo, which is down-regulated on maturation, therefore, immDCs may be considered an additional source of C1Q in humans.
