The Pathophysiology of IgA Nephropathy

TL;DR: Recent advances in understanding the biochemical, immunologic, and genetic pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy are discussed, and five distinct susceptibility loci are identified that potentially influence these processes and contain candidate mediators of disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association study identifies susceptibility loci for IgA nephropathy

TL;DR: Three independent loci in the major histocompatibility complex, as well as a common deletion of CFHR1 and CFHR3 at chromosome 1q32 and a locus at chromosome 22q12 that each surpassed genome-wide significance, explain 4–7% of the disease variance and up to a tenfold variation in interindividual risk.

TL;DR: A genome-wide association study of IgA nephropathy (IgAN), the most common form of glomerulonephritis, with discovery and follow-up in 20,612 individuals of European and East Asian ancestry is performed, suggesting a possible role for host–intestinal pathogen interactions in shaping the genetic landscape of IgAN.
