Abstract: The IgAN consortium has created a website (www.igan.net) for public dissemination and confidential sharing of the results achieved by the Consortium.
The website contains three sections:
1) Information;
2) Registry;
3) News. Section 1 and 3 are available for public vision.
They are dedicated to the exploitation and dissemination of data on IgA nephropathy obtained by the IgAN Consortium.
Section 1 contains a booklet, which includes the definition of the disease as a sporadic form and a familial or a suspected familial form. In addition, there is the definition of affected, probably affected and unaffected subjects belonging to these families. There are the guidelines for the collection of blood samples, which will be stored in the Biobank. The booklet contains letters of information about the disease and an informed consent to be used for the collection of blood samples.
Section 3 is dedicated to the dissemination of data obtained by the IgAN Consortium since the constructed Biobank is the unique DNA bank on IgA nephropathy available in the world.
IgA nephropathy is the most frequent worldwide glomerulonephritis and 20-40% of subjects affected by this disease receive renal replacement therapy 20 years after the onset of the disease. The disease involves young subjects and this means that socio-economic aspects represent major points of the disease.
The section No.2 contains the Registry which is the core of the website for basic and clinical research. The database is accessible only to the partners of the IgAN Consortium, who have received a valid password.
