Association between human leucocyte antigen subtypes and risk of end stage renal disease in Taiwanese: a retrospective study
2015
Background
End stage renal disease (ESRD) is prevalent in Taiwan. Human leukocyte antigens (HLA) have been found to be associated with the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, allergies and inflammatory bowel diseases, and there are emerging evidences of correlations between HLA genotypes and renal diseases such as diabetic nephropathy, IgA nephropathy, and glomerulonephritis. The aim of this study is to investigate detailed HLA subtypes in a case-control study of Taiwanese individuals.
