We tried to assess the influence of the -2578 C/A and -1154 G/A polymorphisms in the regulatory region of the vascular endothelial growth factor gene upon progression of three primary chronic glomerulonephritides (minimal change disease/focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis, membranous nephropathy, immunoglobulin A nephropathy).
To detect Cytotoxic T- Lymphocyte Antigen-4 (CTLA4) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at +49A/G (rs231775) and -318C/T (rs5742909) positions in children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) and also assay urinary soluble CTLA4 (sCTLA4) levels in children with minimal change disease (MCD), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and steroid sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) in remission.
