Glomerulonephritis with absent glomerular basement membrane antigens.
This is a report of a child with glomerulonephritis and no family history of renal disease. On renal biopsy there was splitting and thinning of glomerular basement membrane antigens. These findings are similar to those seen in patients with familial nephritis and may be part of a spectrum of primary glomerular basement membrane defects.
