Genetics: GWAS identifies 24 new loci for renal function

Nature Reviews Nephrology 12, 196 (2016). doi:10.1038/nrneph.2016.14 Author: Jessica K. Edwards A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) has identified 24 novel genetic loci that are associated with renal function (based on estimated glomerular filtration rate), and has confirmed 29 previously identified loci. “The majority of the genes that we identified at these loci were predominantly
