title: Familial membranous glomerulopathy, toxic exposure and/or genetic sensibility?
abstract: Membranous nephropathy rarely occurs as a familial disease. We report two siblings (brother and sister) who presented with nephrotic syndrome and many vascular complications. HLA identities and potential toxic exposure may be concurring in these cases.
