Human Kidney Tubule-Specific Gene Expression Based Dissection of Chronic Kidney Disease Traits

Abstract excerpt

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has diverse phenotypic manifestations including structural (such as fibrosis) and functional (such as glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria) alterations. Gene expression profiling has recently gained popularity as an important new tool for precision medicine approaches. Here we used unbiased and directed approaches to understand how gene expression captures different CKD...
