Contactin 1, a Potential New Antigen Target in Membranous Nephropathy: A Case Report
Several novel antigens have recently been characterized in membranous nephropathy (MN), but those involved in the rare cases of MN associated with inflammatory neuropathies remain elusive. Although several antibodies have been identified in the serum, there is no evidence so far for their deposition in glomeruli. We report the case of a 73-year-old woman who was referred because of subacute onset of proximal asymmetric lower limb weakness together with ataxic gait. She was diagnosed with inflammatory neuropathy.
