Molecular Characterization of Membranous Nephropathy
Conclusions
These results suggest that, relative to other glomerulonephropathies, MN has a distinctive molecular signature that includes upregulation of many podocyte-expressed genes, provides a molecular snapshot of MN, and facilitates insight into MN’s underlying pathophysiology.
