Abstract excerpt

Glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) plays an important role in renal development, serving as a trophic factor for outgrowth of the ureteric bud and its continued arborisation. Our previous studies have shown that common variants of the human paired-box 2 (PAX2) gene (a transcriptional activator of GDNF) and rearranged during transfection (RET) gene (encoding the cognate receptor for GDNF) are associated...
