Abstract excerpt
Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) are the leading cause of pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD) and comprise a heterogeneous group of developmental disorders with a substantial genetic contribution. Advances in next-generation sequencing have facilitated the identification of numerous candidate genes and rare variants associated with CAKUT. However, establishing causality and defining...
