Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as sustained abnormalities in kidney function or structure. Genetic studies of CKD have largely focused on kidney function markers such as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). We hypothesized that genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based kidney sub-volumes could provide insights into CKD risk genes complementary...
