Study separates kidney function genetics from filtration-marker effects
Original: Deconfounding kidney function genomics from filtration-marker biology
A new Nature publication addresses a long-standing problem in kidney genetics: common measures of kidney function rely on filtration markers whose own biology can confound genetic analyses. The work presents an approach to disentangle true kidney function genetics from marker-related effects, aiming to sharpen gene discovery and improve understanding of chronic kidney disease risk.
Why now: Fresh publication in Nature on a methodological issue relevant to kidney disease genetics research
