ABSTRACT

IgA nephropathy is the most common form of primary glomerulonephritis and chronic glomerular disease worldwide including Korea. Familial gathering of IgA nephropathy suggests that genetic factors contribute to the development of this disease. Although there have been many reports on familial IgA nephropathy with genetic analysis and their pedigrees, there has been few reports in Korea. We reported a partial familial IgA nephropathy pedigree with a brief review of the literatures.
