IgA肾病(IgA nephropathy),也被称作伯杰氏病(Berger’s disease),是一种自身免疫肾病,而且也是肾功能衰竭的一种常见的原因。在一项新的研究中,来自美国、中国、日本、德国、法国和意大利的研究人员揭示出新的遗传线索而有助了解IgA肾病。这些发现对理解和治疗IgA肾病和具有类似的分子缺陷的其他疾病(如炎症性肠病、某些血液疾病和癌症)非常有意义。相关研究结果 IgA nephropathy, also known as Berger’s disease, is an autoimmune nephropathy and is also a common cause of renal failure. In a new study, researchers from the United States, China, Japan, Germany, France and Italy unveiled new genetic clues to help understand IgA nephropathy. These findings are of great interest in understanding and treating IgA nephropathy and other diseases with similar molecular defects, such as inflammatory bowel disease, certain blood diseases and cancers.
