Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

To thank the authors for the excellent work as a narrative review of the detailed pathophysiology of MCD, emphasizing the dysfunction, inmune dysregulation and genetic susceptibility.

A clear, concise, separate manuscript on important aspects of the pathophysiology of this disease. 

Just give these suggestions for improving the manuscript:

-The text from line 127 to 129 is repeated in several paragraphs, please modify them.

-Line 129 to 131: What types of therapies are they ? add a comment on it

-Line 167 to 169: What types of immunomodulatory therapies are ? add a comment about it.

-In figure 1, the legend is missing, add it.

For the rest of the manuscript I have no further suggestions. 

Congratulations for the work
