A subanalysis of a total of only 25 children with lupus nephritis who were enrolled in a large randomized clinical trial of mycophenolate mofetil (target dose 3.0 g/ day) versus cyclophosphamide (0.5 to 1.0 g/m 2 /month) [ 72 ] showed a trend towards better renal response to 24-week induction therapy with mycophenolate mofetil than with cyclophosphamide (7/10 (70%) vs. 8/15 (53%)) [ 73 ].

Concentrations of MitoG above 10 μM slightly decreased the OCR owing to ATP synthesis, and lower concentrations in the range 2–5 μM showed a trend toward an increased OCR due to proton leak and a decreased respiratory reserve capacity.

The SNPs rs2380205 (10p15.1, intergenic, 2.6 kb 5′ to GDI2 ) and rs1045485 (2q33.1, CASP8 p.Asp302His) showed a trend towards association, and the SNPs rs2284378 (20q11, RALY c.-93 + 6158 T > C) [ 63 ] and rs1982073 (19q13.2, TGFB1 p.Pro10Leu) [ 23 , 24 , 44 ] were not tested on the iCOGS array.
