Abstract:Objective
Lipoprotein glomerulopathy (LPG) is a rare disorder characterized by the development of glomerular lipoprotein thrombosis. LPG exhibits familial aggregation, with mutations in the apolipoprotein E (
APOE
) gene identified as the leading cause of this disease. This study aimed to investigate
APOE
gene mutations and the clinicopathological features in eleven LPG patients.
