Immunoglobulin (Gm) allotype frequencies in idiopathic membranous nephropathy and minimal change nephropathy. 1984

A G Demaine, and J S Cameron, and D T Taube, and R W Vaughan, and K I Welsh

40 Caucasoid patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) and 49 Caucasoid patients with minimal change nephropathy (MCN) were immunoglobulin allotyped for the Gm markers G1m (1, 2, 3) and G3m (5, 11, 21). Compared with normal controls the IMN group had a significantly decreased incidence of the G1m (3); G3m (5, 11) phenotype (P = less than 0.005). This decrease was accompanied by concommitant increase in both the G1m (1, 3); G3m (5, 11, 21) and the G1m (1, 2, 3); G3m (5, 11, 21) phenotypes. The result was most pronounced in IMN patients with deteriorating renal function. In contrast no significant differences were observed between the Gm phenotype frequencies of the MCN patients and controls.

D009402 Nephrosis, Lipoid A kidney disease with no or minimal histological glomerular changes on light microscopy and with no immune deposits. It is characterized by lipid accumulation in the epithelial cells of KIDNEY TUBULES and in the URINE.
