Project description:Our understanding of the pathogenesis of idiopathic membranous nephropathy is limited by an incomplete molecular characterization of the cell types in the kidney and interaction between the cells. Besides, the reason for the heterogeneity of these patients as well as the variety of clinical outcomes remains elusive. Therefore, we applied scRNA-seq to kidney biopsies of patients with IMN to identify gene expression at the single-cell level, elucidate cells involved in the progression of IMN, and uncover intercellular interactions.

Project description:The goal of the project was to identify risk alleles that are associated with recurrence of membranous nephropathy in the graft after kidney transplantation. First, we sequenced PLA2R1 and HLA-D loci in 248 patients with primary membranous nephropathy and identified two independent single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at risk for primary membranous nephropathy at each locus. Then we investigated whether primary membranous nephropathy at-risk variants were associated with recurrence in a retrospective cohort of 105 donor-recipient pairs and a replication cohort of 40 pairs.
