Novel Haplotype Indicator for End-Stage Renal Disease Progression among Saudi Patients.

Conclusion: CKD is often silent until symptomatic uremia during the advanced stages of the disease. The newly identified haplotype will help recognize patients at risk for a rapid progression of CKD to ESRD. Accurate detection and mapping of the genetic variants facilitates improved risk stratification and development of improved and targeted therapeutic management for CKD. PMID: 31534799 [PubMed]
