Moreover, data collected in the Nephromine database showed that in 21 patients with membranous nephropathy (eGFR 85±40 ml/min/1.73 m2, age 54±18 years, 12 males/9 females), tubulointerstitial BASP1 mRNA expression was found to be 1.204-fold (P=0.012) that of healthy living kidney donors. This evidence concerns the gene BASP1 and membranous glomerulonephritis.
