IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary form of glomerulonephritis worldwide. In the present study, the genetic structure of the NPHS2 gene was studied to verify if podocin plays a role in the pathogenesis of IgAN.
Clinical characteristics and DNA samples were collected from 26 Chinese children with sporadic IgAN. A direct sequencing was performed after polymerase chain reaction amplification to all the eight exons of the NPHS2 gene.
Three synonymous variants as known polymorphisms (954T-->C homozygous, 1038A-->G heterozygous and homozygous) were found in 3, 4 and 1 patients, respectively. There was no significant difference in the genotypic and allelic frequencies of 954T > C and 1038A > G polymorphisms between the patients and normal controls.
No significant difference in the genotypic and allelic frequencies of the identified 954T > C and 1038A > G polymorphisms between the patients and normal controls was found.
IgA 肾病(IgAN)是全球最常见的原发性肾小球肾炎形式。在本研究中,对 NPHS2 基因的遗传结构进行研究,以验证足突蛋白是否在 IgAN 的发病机制中起作用。
收集 26 例中国散发型 IgAN 儿童的临床特征和 DNA 样本。对 NPHS2 基因的所有八个外显子进行聚合酶链反应扩增后进行直接测序。
分别在 3 例、4 例和 1 例患者中发现三个同义变异作为已知多态性(954T→C 纯合子、1038A→G 杂合子和纯合子)。患者与正常对照之间 954T>C 和 1038A>G 多态性的基因型和等位基因频率无显著差异。
在患者与正常对照之间,所鉴定的 954T>C 和 1038A>G 多态性的基因型和等位基因频率未发现显著差异。
