Abstract excerpt
The genetic spectrum of genetic kidney diseases (GKD) and the application of genetic diagnoses to patient care were assessed by whole exome sequencing (WES) of the DNA of 172 pediatric or adult patients with various kidney diseases. WES diagnosed genetic diseases in 63 (36.6%) patients. The diagnostic yields in patients with glomerulopathy were 33.8% (25/74 pts) due to variants in 10 genes, 58.8% (20/34) in...
