This includes the identification and characterization of CCR6+ IL-17-producing T cells in murine kidneys in experimental models of cGN (Paust et al., 2012, Turner et al., 2010), as well as evidence for the contribution of IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-17RA, IL-23p19, and RORγt to renal tissue injury in cGN (Paust et al., 2009, Ramani et al., 2014, Riedel et al., 2016, Steinmetz et al., 2011, Summers et al., 2009). This evidence concerns the gene IL17F and childhood gender nonconformity.
