Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified many genetic risk factors for
CKD. However, linking common variants to genes that are causal for CKD etiology remains …

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified multiple loci associated with the
risk of CKD. Almost all risk variants are localized to the noncoding region of the genome; …

The past few years have seen major advances in genome-wide association studies (GWAS)
of CKD and kidney function–related traits in several areas: increases in sample size from> …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a complex gene-environmental disease affecting close to
10% of the US population. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified …

Background Linking genetic risk loci identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS)
to their causal genes remains a major challenge. Disease-associated genetic variants are …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a serious public health problem because of its
associated morbidity, premature mortality, and attendant healthcare costs. The rising …

A previous meta-analysis of genome-wide association data by the Cohorts for Heart and
Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology and CKDGen consortia identified 16 loci …

Background Studies have identified many common genetic associations that influence renal
function and all-cause CKD, but these explain only a small fraction of variance in these traits …

We describe our collaborative efforts to increase representation of diverse populations in
genomic research of kidney phenotypes to fill an unmet need to further understanding of the …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is responsible for a public health burden with multi-systemic
complications. Through trans-ancestry meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of …
