Sex-specific and pleiotropic effects underlying kidney function identified from GWAS meta-analysis

2018-09-19

Abstract excerpt

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a growing health burden currently affecting 10-15% of adults worldwide. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) as a marker of kidney function is commonly used to diagnose CKD. Previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analyses of CKD and eGFR or related phenotypes have identified a number of variants associated with kidney function, but these only explain a fraction of...
