Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

14.3K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Imaging Studies I: Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder Studies

Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) StudiesKidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) studies are standard diagnostic imaging procedures used to assess the anatomy of the urinary system. They are commonly utilized for patients experiencing abdominal pain or urinary symptoms. By using a simple X-ray of the abdomen, KUB studies can reveal structural and pathological abnormalities within the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. These studies are particularly valuable in diagnosing kidney stones, urinary...

Genomics

37.5K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

Chronic Kidney Disease I: Introduction

75
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) arises when the kidneys progressively lose their ability to function, ultimately leading to end-stage renal disease. At this advanced stage, the kidneys can no longer filter waste or maintain essential body functions, requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) through dialysis or a kidney transplant for survival.Early-stage chronic kidney disease and detection challengesIn CKD's early stages, symptoms often remain absent because healthy nephrons compensate for...

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Genetics
  • Biobanking

Background:

  • Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 9% of the global population, posing significant health risks and burdens.
  • CKD is a complex disease with genetic, environmental, and traditional risk factors, showing 30-75% heritability.
  • Genomic biobanks are crucial for identifying genes and genetic risk factors for CKD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the significant contributions of genomic biobanks to understanding CKD genetics.
  • To highlight the role of biobanks in identifying novel genetic associations and understanding disease mechanisms.
  • To emphasize the importance of biobanks for personalized medicine and early detection of kidney disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Leveraging large-scale genomic biobank data.
  • Integrating multi-omics technologies (transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics).
  • Utilizing advanced computational tools for genetic data analysis.
  • Developing polygenic risk scores (PRS) for CKD risk stratification.

Main Results:

  • Genomic biobanks have identified genes with substantial effects on CKD risk.
  • Polygenic risk scores derived from biobank data can identify high-risk individuals.
  • Biobanks facilitate early identification and personalized treatment of monogenic kidney diseases.

Conclusions:

  • Genomic biobanks are indispensable for advancing the comprehension of CKD genetics.
  • Expanding global biobank efforts, especially in diverse populations, is crucial for comprehensive understanding.
  • Biobanks fill knowledge gaps, particularly for underrepresented patient groups with milder CKD presentations.
