... Vasconcelos; Emanuel Sávio Cavalcante Sarinho Background: Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) has been linked to the lectin pathway, IgG4 and genetic susceptibility. We investigated the frequency of mannose-binding lectin2 ( MBL2 ) gene polymorphisms and the serum ratio of IgG4 in patients with membranous...
