Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have facilitated the unbiased discovery of hundreds of genomic loci associated with CKD and kidney function. The vast majority of disease-associated DNA variants are noncoding. Those that are causal in CKD pathogenesis likely modulate transcription of target genes in a cell type-specific manner. To gain novel biological insights into mechanisms driving the development of...
