Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for kidney function have mainly focused on creatinine-based glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcrea), which is affected by variation in muscle mass. Moreover, the genetic basis of the sexual dimorphism of chronic kidney disease is underexplored. METHODS: We performed a GWAS meta-analysis for creatinine clearance (CrCl), a muscle mass-independent measure of kidney...
