Özet

Uteroglobin (UG) is a multifunctional protein with anti-inflammatory properties. The aim of this study was to first evaluate the role of UG gene G38A polymorphism in childhood idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS), and determine whether this variation may be related to the occurrence of INS or a steroid response.
