Abstract Purpose A Renal Genetics Clinic (RGC) was established to optimize diagnostic
testing, facilitate genetic counseling, and direct clinical management. Methods Retrospective …

Related living kidney donors (LKDs) are at higher risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD)
compared with unrelated LKDs. A genetic panel was developed to screen 115 genes …

Background Genetic testing in nephrology is increasingly described in the literature and
several groups have suggested significant clinical benefit. However, studies to date have …

Methods In this prospective cohort study, we undertook genetic testing in adults with
suspected GKD according to prespecified criteria. Over 7 years, patients were referred from …

paediatric and adult nephrology services. Genetic advances have advanced rapidly while …

Hereditary kidney disease comprises approximately 10% of adults and nearly all children
who require renal replacement therapy. Technologic advances have improved our ability to …

Background Genetic kidney diseases contribute a significant portion of kidney diseases in
children and young adults. Nephrogenetics is a rapidly evolving subspecialty; however, in …
