BACKGROUND: IgA-vasculitis (IgAV) encompasses a systemic form involving kidneys, gut, skin or joints, and a skin-limited form. One characteristic feature of systemic IgAV is deposition of galactose-deficient IgA1 (GD-IgA1) in kidneys (as in IgA ...

Background: Aberrant O-glycosylation of IgA1 plays an important role in IgA nephropathy pathogenesis. Previous proteomic studies analyzed O-glycans of the circulating IgA1 hinge region and found that the N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) and galactose ...

Galactose-Deficient IgA1 in African Americans with IgA Nephropathy [PDF]
Serum levels of galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) are elevated and heritable in Caucasian and Asian patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN), but have not been characterized in African Americans (AA). Our objective was to determine whether serum Gd-IgA1 levels are increased in AA patients with IgAN and whether this is a heritable trait in this group.Blood

Secondary IgA Nephropathy Shares the Same Immune Features With Primary IgA Nephropathy
Introduction: Galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) and related IgA/IgG immune complexes have been identified as the key drivers in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN).

Autoantibodies Targeting Galactose-Deficient IgA1 Associate with Progression of IgA Nephropathy [PDF]
Mesangial and circulating IgA1 with aberrantly glycosylated hinge region O-glycans characterize IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Unlike healthy individuals, some IgA1 is galactose deficient in patients with IgAN, leaving terminal N-acetylgalactosamine residues in the hinge region exposed.

Oxidative Stress and Galactose-Deficient IgA1 as Markers of Progression in IgA Nephropathy [PDF]
SummaryBackground and objectivesWe assessed the activation of the oxidative stress pathway in patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN), while evaluating the classic marker of the disease (galactose-deficient serum IgA1).Design, setting, participants, & measurementsSera from 292 patients and 69 healthy controls from Italy and the United States were ...

Role of Epstein-Barr Virus in Pathogenesis and Racial Distribution of IgA Nephropathy
IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the dominant type of primary glomerulonephritis worldwide. However, IgAN rarely affects African Blacks and is uncommon in African Americans.

Racial heterogeneity of IgA1 hinge-region O-glycoforms in patients with IgA nephropathy
Summary: Galactose (Gal)-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) is involved in IgA nephropathy (IgAN) pathogenesis. To reflect racial differences in clinical characteristics, we assessed disease- and race-specific heterogeneity in the O-glycosylation of the IgA1 hinge

Enzymatic sialylation of IgA1 O-glycans: implications for studies of IgA nephropathy. [PDF]
Patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) have elevated circulating levels of IgA1 with some O-glycans consisting of galactose (Gal)-deficient N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) with or without N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc).
