Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) is a common form of congenital cystic kidney disease in children. The etiology of MCDK remains unclear. Given an important role of the renin-angiotensin system in normal kidney development, we explored whether MCDK in children is associated with variants in the genes encoding renin-angiotensin system components by Sanger sequencing. METHODS: The coding regions of...
