31 May 2019
Abstract excerpt
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major global health problem with an increasing prevalence partly driven by ageing population structure. Both genomic and environmental factors contribute to this complex heterogeneous disease. CKD heritability is estimated to be high (30-75%).
