Primary Membranous Nephropathy With Enhanced Staining of Exostosin 1/Exostosin 2 in the Glomeruli: A Report of 2 Cases [PDF]
Technological advances have allowed the discovery of 6 subtypes of membranous nephropathy based on target antigens: M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R), thrombospondin type 1 domain-containing 7A (THSD7A), neural epidermal growth factor-like 1 ...

Prevalence of neural epidermal growth factor-like 1- and exostosin 1/exostosin 2-associated membranous nephropathy: a single-center retrospective study in Japan [PDF]
Membranous nephropathy (MN) is the leading cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults. We previously reported that the prevalence of phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R)- and thrombospondin type 1 domain containing 7A (THSD7A)-associated MN patients in Japan is ...

Exostosin 1/exostosin 2-associated membranous nephropathy in undifferentiated connective tissue disease: a case report and literature review [PDF]
Background Renal involvement in undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD) is rare and not well characterized, with membranous nephropathy (MN) representing an uncommon but clinically significant manifestation. While exostosin 1/exostosin 2 (EXT 1/

No correlation between the variants of exostosin 2 gene and type 2 diabetes in Burkina Faso population [PDF]
Recent genome-wide association studies and replication analyses have reported the association of variants of the exostosin- 2 gene (EXT2) and risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in some populations, but not in others.

Exostosin 1/Exostosin 2-Associated Membranous Nephropathy. [PDF]
Significance Statement In approximately 70%–80% of cases of primary membranous nephropathy (MN), phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R)/Thrombospondin Type-1 Domain–Containing 7A (THSD7A) and anti-PLA2R/THSD7A antibodies form immune complexes along the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) that characterize the condition.

A Diagnostic and Therapeutic Dilemma Concerning Exostosin 1/Exostosin 2-associated Lupus-like Membranous Nephropathy with Positive Antinuclear Antibody in an Elderly Man with Various Immune Abnormalities. [PDF]
Exostosin 1 (EXT1) and exostosin 2 (EXT2)-associated membranous nephropathy (MN) may be associated with active autoimmune disease. We encountered an elderly man who presented with EXT1/EXT2-associated lupus-like MN with full house immune deposits, monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance and Sjögren's syndrome.

Novel exostosin-2 mutation identified in a Chinese family with hereditary multiple osteochondroma. [PDF]
Hereditary multiple osteochondroma (HMO) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by multiple outgrowing bony tumors capped by cartilage, generally affecting the metaphyses. The disease is known as hereditary multiple exostoses, familial exostosis, multiple cartilaginous exostoses or hereditary malformation of cartilage.

Functional Requirements for Heparan Sulfate Biosynthesis in Morphogenesis and Nervous System Development in C. elegans. [PDF]
The regulation of cell migration is essential to animal development and physiology. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans shape the interactions of morphogens and guidance cues with their respective receptors to elicit appropriate cellular responses.
