[Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis in 2 brothers].
In one sibship, two brothers had membrano-proliferative glomerulonephritis type I. The former died 3 years after the onset of the glomerulonephritis and the latter is still alive. The familial nature of the disease is an argument to strengthen the concept that genetic factors are involved in its origin.
