Transcription factor 21 (TCF21) contributes to mammalian nephrogenesis, and especially to glomerular maturation. Our previous study suggested its influence on glomerular injury, showing that TCF21 expression in podocytes had a positive correlation with the urinary protein value and also with the urinary TCF21 concentration. We now focus on its influence on the clinical course of immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), as patients with IgAN constitute the largest population of individuals with primary chronic glomerulonephritis in the world. Twenty cases of IgAN were divided into two groups according to the immunohistological score (IHS) of glomerular TCF21 expression: group IHS1 (n=7) and group IHS2+3 (n=13). Sixteen of the 20 cases were followed up for 2 years. Group IHS2+3 had heavier urinary protein (p=0.03) and a greater urinary TCF21 level (p
