Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease due to UMOD mutations (ADTKD-UMOD) results in chronic interstitial nephritis, which gradually develops into end-stage renal disease. It is believed that the accumulation of mutant uromodulin causes the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, then leads to the kidney damage. But the underlying mechanism remains unclear. To find the ADTKD-UMOD patients, UMOD gene...
