The aim of the study was (i) to provide a comprehensive data set of glomerular miRNAs expression in native renal biopsies of IgA-GN on a cohort reflecting the full spectrum of glomerular tuft pathology (ii) to identify the most stably expressed miRNAs as a reference by proper normalization strategies (iii) to compare different normalization strategies for the identification of differentially expressed miRNAs in “active, cellular” crescentic IgA-GN vs. IgA-GN vs. controls. Here, CD79A is linked to ganglioneuroma.
