Genetics of kidney diseases in 2017: Unveiling the genetic architecture of kidney diseaseGenetics of kidney diseases in 2017: Unveiling the genetic architecture of kidney disease, Published online: 08 January 2018; doi:10.1038/nrneph.2017.177Technical advances in genome sequencing and association studies have yielded critical insights into the genetic architecture of kidney diseases. Here, I summarize four key studies from 2017 that deciphered the genetic basis of known and novel diseases and provided insights into the mechanisms of glomerular, developmental defects and manifestations of kidney disorders.
