Serum galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) is an inherited risk factor for adult IgA nephropathy (IgAN). The goal of this study is to determine the heritability of serum Gd-IgA1 levels in children with IgAN and Henoch-Schönlein nephritis (HSPN). For this purpose, we obtained serum from 34 Caucasian families (20 pediatric cases of HSPN, 14 pediatric cases of IgAN, and 54 of their first-degree relatives), as well as from 51 age- and ethnicity-matched pediatric controls and 141 healthy adult controls. Serum Gd-IgA1 levels were quantified using an HAA-lectin-based ELISA. Children with either IgAN or HSPN had significantly higher Gd-IgA1 levels compared with pediatric controls (p = 1.7 × 10−7 and p = 6.5 × 10−9, respectively). Serum levels of Gd-IgA1 were also elevated in a large fraction of the first-degree relatives of pediatric IgAN and HSPN patients compared with unrelated adult controls (p = 3.2 × 10−6 and p = 5.1 × 10−4, respectively). The unilineal transmission of the trait was observed for 75% of families, bilineal transmission in 5%, and sporadic occurrence in 20%. The age-, gender-, and household-adjusted heritability of serum Gd-IgA1 level was estimated at 76% (p = 0.021) in pediatric IgAN patients and at 64% (p = 0.018) in HSPN patients. Our data demonstrate that serum Gd-IgA1 levels are highly inherited in pediatric IgAN and HSPN, providing support for yet another shared pathogenic link between these disorders.
