Periostin Contributes to Immunoglobulin a Nephropathy by Promoting the Proliferation of Mesangial Cells: A Weighted Gene Correlation Network Analysis

Periostin Contributes to Immunoglobulin a Nephropathy by Promoting the Proliferation of Mesangial Cells: A Weighted Gene Correlation Network Analysis

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is a known cause of end-stage kidney disease, but the pathogenesis and factors affecting prognosis are not fully understood. In the present study, we carried out weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA) to identify hub genes related to the occurrence of...
