Globally, IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerulonephritis that can progress to renal failure. The exact pathogenesis of IgAN is not well defined, but current biochemical and genetic data implicate overproduction of aberrantly glycosylated IgA1.

The Role of IgA in the Pathogenesis of IgA Nephropathy [PDF]
Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is the most abundant antibody isotype produced in humans, predominantly present in the mucosal areas where its main functions are the neutralization of toxins, prevention of microbial invasion across the mucosal epithelial barrier, and simultaneous maintenance of a physiologically indispensable symbiotic relationship with ...

A global neuronopathic gaucher disease registry (GARDIAN): a patient-led initiative
Background Gaucher disease (GD) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder. GD types 2 and 3 are known as neuronopathic Gaucher disease (nGD) because they have brain involvement that progresses over time.

IgA Glycosylation and IgA Immune Complexes in the Pathogenesis of IgA Nephropathy [PDF]
Circulating immune complexes containing aberrantly glycosylated IgA1 play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). A portion of IgA1 secreted by IgA1-producing cells in patients with IgAN is galactose-deficient and consequently recognized by anti-glycan IgG or IgA1 antibodies.

IgA Glycosylation in IgA Nephropathy [PDF]
IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the commonest form of glomerulonephritis in developed countries where renal biopsy is widely practiced1. IgAN is defined by the deposition of IgA in the glomerular mesangium. Most typically, patients present with episodes of visible haematuria, which often concide with respiratory or gastrointestinal infection.

Role of macromolecular IgA in IgA nephropathy [PDF]
Primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common form of primary glomerulonephritis, leading to progressive renal failure in almost one third of the patients. The disease is characterized by mesangial deposits of IgA. The pathogenesis of IgAN remains incompletely understood.
