Identification of a two-SNP PLA2R1 Haplotype and HLA-DRB1 Alleles as Primary Risk Associations in Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy

Abstract 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 nephropathy (IMN) is well known. However, the primary associations of these loci still need to be determined. We used Japanese-specifi...
