Pediatric steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (pSSNS) is the most common childhood glomerular disease. Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified a risk locus in the HLA Class II region and three additional independent risk loci. But the genetic architecture of pSSNS, and its genetically driven pathobiology, is largely unknown. Here, we conduct a multi-population GWAS meta-analysis in 38,463 participants (2440 cases). We then conduct conditional analyses and population specific GWAS. We discover twelve significant associations-eight from the multi-population meta-analysis (four novel), two from the multi-population conditional analysis (one novel), and two additional novel loci from the European meta-analysis. Fine-mapping implicates specific amino acid haplotypes in HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DQB1 driving the HLA Class II risk locus. Non-HLA loci colocalize with eQTLs of monocytes and numerous T-cell subsets in independent datasets. Colocalization with kidney eQTLs is lacking but overlap with kidney cell open chromatin suggests an uncharacterized disease mechanism in kidney cells. A polygenic risk score (PRS) associates with earlier disease onset. Altogether, these discoveries expand our knowledge of pSSNS genetic architecture across populations and provide cell-specific insights into its molecular drivers. Evaluating these associations in additional cohorts will refine our understanding of population specificity, heterogeneity, and clinical and molecular associations.

Recurrence of primary membranous nephropathy after transplantation occurs in up to 44% of patients and is driven by PLA2R antibody. Here, we asked whether genetic determinants could improve risk prediction. First, we sequenced PLA2R1 and HLA-D loci in 248 patients with primary membranous nephropathy and identified two independent single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at risk for primary membranous nephropathy at each locus. These were rs9271188 (intergenic between HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQA1,) and rs9275086 (intergenic between HLA-DQB1 and HLA-DQA2) at the HLA-D locus along with rs6726925 and rs13018963 at the PLA2R1 locus. Then we investigated whether primary membranous nephropathy at-risk variants were associated with recurrence in a retrospective cohort of 105 donor-recipient pairs and a replication cohort of 40 pairs. Seven SNPs located between HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQA1 in linkage disequilibrium with rs9271188, and three SNPs in the PLA2R1 region predicted recurrence when presented by the donor, but not when presented by the recipient. The two SNPs in the HLA-D region most strongly associated with recurrence (rs9271705 and rs9271550) were confirmed in the replication cohort. A genetic risk score based on the two best predictors at each locus (rs9271705, rs9271550, rs17830558, and rs3828323) identified a group of patients with high risk of recurrence. Thus, our results suggest that the graft contributes to recurrence of primary membranous nephropathy through the disease susceptibility HLA-D and PLA2R1 SNPs in an autoimmune milieu. Further studies are needed before implementation of genetic testing for these in donor selection.

The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of Glomerular Diseases is an update to the KDIGO 2012 guideline. The aim is to assist clinicians caring for individuals with glomerulonephritis (GN), both adults and children. The scope includes various glomerular diseases, including IgA nephropathy and IgA vasculitis, membranous nephropathy, nephrotic syndrome, minimal change disease (MCD), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), infection-related GN, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) vasculitis, lupus nephritis, and anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody GN. In addition, this guideline will be the first to address the subtype of complement-mediated diseases. Each chapter follows the same format providing guidance related to diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and special situations. The goal of the guideline is to generate a useful resource for clinicians and patients by providing actionable recommendations based on evidence syntheses, with useful infographics incorporating views from experts in the field. Another aim is to propose research recommendations for areas where there are gaps in knowledge. The guideline targets a broad global audience of clinicians treating GN while being mindful of implications for policy and cost. Development of this guideline update followed an explicit process whereby treatment approaches and guideline recommendations are based on systematic reviews of relevant studies, and appraisal of the quality of the evidence and the strength of recommendations followed the "Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation" (GRADE) approach. Limitations of the evidence are discussed, with areas of future research also presented.

Membranous Nephropathy (MN) is a rare autoimmune cause of kidney failure. Here we report a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for primary MN in 3,782 cases and 9,038 controls of East Asian and European ancestries. We discover two previously unreported loci, NFKB1 (rs230540, OR = 1.25, P = 3.4 × 10-12) and IRF4 (rs9405192, OR = 1.29, P = 1.4 × 10-14), fine-map the PLA2R1 locus (rs17831251, OR = 2.25, P = 4.7 × 10-103) and report ancestry-specific effects of three classical HLA alleles: DRB1*1501 in East Asians (OR = 3.81, P = 2.0 × 10-49), DQA1*0501 in Europeans (OR = 2.88, P = 5.7 × 10-93), and DRB1*0301 in both ethnicities (OR = 3.50, P = 9.2 × 10-23 and OR = 3.39, P = 5.2 × 10-82, respectively). GWAS loci explain 32% of disease risk in East Asians and 25% in Europeans, and correctly re-classify 20-37% of the cases in validation cohorts that are antibody-negative by the serum anti-PLA2R ELISA diagnostic test. Our findings highlight an unusual genetic architecture of MN, with four loci and their interactions accounting for nearly one-third of the disease risk.

Assessment of kidney function in oncology patients is a fundamental factor in profiling the survival risk, determining the appropriate dose of chemotherapeutic drugs, and defining a patient eligibility for clinical trials with novel agents. Both overestimation and underestimation of kidney function may affect the treatment efficacy and outcomes. Overestimation may lead to overdosing or inappropriate agent selection and the corresponding toxicity, whereas underestimation may be responsible for underdosing or inappropriate agent exclusion and subsequent treatment failure. This is of utmost importance in patients with cancer. Evaluation of kidney function is not only limited to the estimation of glomerular filtration rate or creatinine clearance. An accurate assessment of kidney function is advisable to reduce variability in decision making and ultimately the therapeutic outcomes of toxicity and clinical benefit. Therefore, additional studies are needed to investigate the validity of currently used formulas estimating kidney function in this population as well as their applicability to traditional chemotherapy, novel targeted therapies, and immunotherapies. Because of rapid discovery and development of new cancer agents, a reliable and comprehensive manner to screen for potential nephrotoxicity is critically important. As kidney function not only is limited to glomerular filtration rate changes but also involves tubular and even vascular dysfunction, urinalysis and kidney imaging studies should also be considered before therapeutic decisions are taken. However, several questions remain regarding these new technologies such as kidney-on-a-chip systems for the assessment of kidney function and injury, particularly in oncology, and it has yet to be implemented in clinical practice.

BACKGROUND: Antibodies against M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) are serological markers of disease activity in patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy (iMN). To determine the most sensitive test for the diagnosis of PLA2R-related membranous nephropathy (MN) irrespective of sampling time, we investigated the presence of PLA2R in glomerular immune deposits and assessed circulating anti-PLA2R antibodies in a retrospective cohort of Czech patients with idiopathic, lupus and other few secondary MN. METHODS: We tested archival paraffin-embedded kidney biopsies of 84 consecutive patients with biopsy-proven MN, for the presence of PLA2R in glomerular immune deposits and we measured circulating anti-PLA2R antibodies using the indirect immunofluorescence test, all reagents being commercially available. RESULTS: In 45 of 65 (69%) patients with iMN, PLA2R was detected in a finely granular pattern in sub-epithelial deposits along glomerular capillary loops. Circulating anti-PLA2R antibodies were detected in 20 of 31 (65%) sera from patients sampled during active disease. Six patients with active disease were negative for circulating anti-PLA2R antibodies despite PLA2R antigen positivity in the kidney biopsies. Only 8 of 37 (22%) sera sampled at the time of remission were PLA2R positive while PLA2R antigen was found in 22 of the 37 (59%) corresponding biopsies. PLA2R was found in immune deposits in 3 patients with secondary MN (2 with hepatitis B, and 1 with sarcoidosis) but in none of the 16 patients with lupus. CONCLUSIONS: In case of delayed serum sampling, assessment of PLA2R antigen in biopsy specimens is more sensitive than the serological test for the diagnosis of PLA2R-related MN which can be established retrospectively.
