Clinical Information
Fibronectin glomerulopathy, also called glomerulopathy with fibronectin deposits 2 (GFND2), is a rare kidney disease characterized by large amounts of fibronectin deposits in the mesangium and subendothelial space of renal glomeruli. Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry performed on microdissected glomeruli from patients with GFND2 demonstrates a unique proteomic profile. The presence of abnormal fibronectin deposits, in the appropriate clinical and pathological context, can be useful to establish a diagnosis of GFND2.
Interpretation
An interpretation will be provided.
Cautions
No significant cautionary statements
Method Description
Affected areas are removed from paraffin-embedded tissues by laser microdissection. Protein digestion is performed, followed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry.(Unpublished Mayo method)
