Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies have discovered hundreds of associations between common genotypes and kidney function but cannot comprehensively investigate rare coding variants. Here, we apply a genotype imputation approach to whole exome sequencing data from the UK Biobank to increase sample size from 166,891 to 408,511. We detect 158 rare variants and 105 genes significantly associated with one or more of five...
