Associations of Genetic Variants Contributing to Gut Microbiota Composition in Immunoglobin A Nephropathy

ABSTRACT The gut microbiota has been implicated in immunoglobin A nephropathy (IgAN) because the intestinal immune response is assumed to be one of the disease triggers. Since the microbial composition is heritable, we hypothesize that genetic variants controlling gut microbiota composition may be a...
