New Genetic Loci Associated With Chronic Kidney Disease in an Indigenous Australian Population

New Genetic Loci Associated With Chronic Kidney Disease in an Indigenous Australian Population

The common occurrence of renal disease in Australian Aboriginal populations such as Tiwi Islanders may be determined by environmental and genetic factors. To explore genetic contributions, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of urinary albumin creatinine ratio (ACR) in a sample of 24...
