Impact of gene polymorphisms of interleukin-18, transforming growth factor-β, and vascular endothelial growth factor on development of IgA nephropathy and thin glomerular basement membrane disease

Impact of gene polymorphisms of interleukin-18, transforming growth factor-β, and vascular endothelial growth factor on development of IgA nephropathy and thin glomerular basement membrane disease

Background: We investigated the effects of gene polymorphisms on the development of IgA nephropathy and thin glomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease by analyzing polymorphisms in the interleukin (IL)-18, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) genes in Ko...
