Ověřeni použitelnosti poměru expresi genů NPHS2 a SYNPO při diagnostice fokalni segmentalni glomerulosklerozy a minimalnich změn glomerulů. (Czech)

Objective: The aim of this study was the verification of the applicability of NPHS2/SYNPO ratio for diagnosis of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and minimal change disease (MCD) in Czech patients and identification of new markers for distinguishing between MCD and FSGS. Material and methods: Our study was performed on 24 samples from patients with FSGS and MCD. Gene expressions were determined using relative quantitative real-time PCR and TaqMan® Array Micro Fluidic Cards and normalized to the reference gene GAPDH. Results and conclusion: Our results did not find any significant difference in the podocin/synaptopodin ratio and in any other studied genes between FSGS and MCD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cíl: Cilem teto studie bylo ověřit použitelnost poměru expresi genů NPHS2 a SYNPO při diagnostice fokalni segmentalni glomerulosklerozy (FSGS) a minimalnich změn glomerulů (MCD) u českych pacientů a zaroveň identifikovat nove markery, ktere by mohly vest k jednoznačnemu rozlišeni mezi oběma diagnozami. Typ studie: Pilotni studie Materiál a metody: Do studie bylo zařazeno 24 vzorků od pacientů s FSGS a MCD. Exprese genů byla stanovena metodou relativni kvantitativni real-time PCR provedene na kartach TaqMan® Array Micro Fluidic Cards s naslednou normalizaci dat k referenčnimu genu GAPDH. Výsledky a závěry: Nebyly prokazany žadne statisticky vyznamne rozdily v expresi studovanych genů mezi pacienty s FSGS a MCD. Zaroveň se nepodařilo potvrdit použitelnost poměru expresi genů NPHS2 a SYNPO pro rozlišeni FSGS a MCD u českych pacientů. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
