Genetic Predisposition to Balkan Endemic Nephropathy
Nephron, 2008This study is the first cytogenetic investigation of healthy relatives of patients with Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN) who were born in nonendemic areas. Characteristics of BEN No. 3 chromosomal anomalies (extremely high frequencies of 3q25 homologue discordance – 68.5 ± (SD) 5.03% vs. 6.65 ± 0.95% in controls, p < 0.001; chromosome breaks at 3q25

Well Water Characteristics and the Balkan Nephropathy
Nephron, 2008A total of 366 inhabitants of a village affected by Balkan nephropathy (BN) have been followed over 12 years. It was shown that depth of the well to the water level, height of the water column, electroconductivity, and NO<sub>3 </sub>content of he water were not associated with BN. The risk of developing the disease was significantly higher
