BACKGROUND
Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) regulate one-third of all protein-coding genes and are fundamental in the pathophysiology of a wide range of diseases. We studied the expression of several miRNA species (miR-200 family, miR-205 and miR-192) in the urinary sediment of patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN).
METHODS
We studied 43 patients with biopsy-proven IgAN. Urinary expression of miRNAs was de...
