Molecular insights into genome-wide association studies of chronic kidney disease-defining traits

The molecular mechanisms that underlie associations in GWAS, incl. chronic kidney disease (CKD), are largely unknown. Here, the authors perform an integrative analysis of genetic, transcriptomic and epigenomic data from human kidney to pinpoint plausible molecular pathways of CKD genetic association...
