METHOD AND KIT FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF IGA NEPHROPATHY

摘要

The invention concerns a new method for the diagnosis of glomerulonephritis with mesangial deposits of IgA (IgA nephropathy) based on the detection of an increase in the expression levels of some microRNAs (mi-RNAs). The invention also concerns use of the mi-RNAs for diagnosis of the disease, a kit for diagnostic use and use of the antisense mi-RNAs for the treatment and/or prevention of the disease.
