The clinical significance of gene polymorphism in children's primary nephrotic syndrome / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

The pathogenesis of children's primary nephrotic syndrome has not been completely clear at present.In the past few years,The polymorphism of these genes,such as angiotensin-converting enzyme gene,apolipoprotein E gene,platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase gene,human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen gene,glucocorticoid receptor gene and cytokine gene,ect have been discovered that were significantly correlated with susceptibility,pathological progress,steroid response,disease recurrence and prognosis of primary nephrotic syndrome.This article reviewed the research progress of PNS and gene polymorphism.
