X-chromosomal genetic variants have been understudied in end-stage renal disease (ESRD), which holds the promise to provide valuable insights into sexually dimorphic traits and diseases. Here we performed an X chromosome-wide association study (XWAS) in a Chinese cohort (N = 2750), comprising 1489 cases with ESRD and 1261 controls, to identify locus associated with ESRD risk. One locus showing a consistent effect...
