To investigate intrarenal disease associated regulation of NRN1, ROBO1 and ROBO2 mRNA, we assessed the renal expression on microdissected glomeruli of cohorts with diabetic nephropathy (DN), nephrosclerosis (NSC), focal-segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), membranous glomerulonephropathy (MGN) and pretransplant biopsies. Here, ROBO1 is linked to idiopathic membranous glomerulonephritis.
