Diagnoses of uncertain significance: kidney genetics in the 21st century

Nature Reviews Nephrology, Published online: 07 April 2020; doi:10.1038/s41581-020-0277-6The increasing availability of sequencing has accelerated the discovery of genetic causes of kidney disease, with clear benefits for patients. However, insufficient or contradictory evidence exists for numerous variants that were previously reported to be pathogenic, calling into question some proposed gene–disease associations. Rigorous re-appraisal of evidence is needed to ensure diagnostic accuracy.
