The Fcgamma receptors play important roles in anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody disease (anti-GBM disease) in animal models, and FCGR gene polymorphisms have been reported to be associated with numerous human autoimmune diseases. We aimed to clarify the genetic association of FCGR gene polymorphisms with anti-GBM disease in Chinese patients.
