Basic/Clinical Science Session
Integrating Kidney Genetics into Clinical Practice
November 02, 2023 | 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Location: Room 107, Pennsylvania Convention Center
Session Description
The field of genomics has grown at a rapid pace, and knowledge of the genetic architecture underlying common and rare disease in nephrology is continuously expanding. As a result, integrating genetic testing in the kidney clinic is becoming an increasingly necessary skill. In this session, various aspects of developing a kidney genetics clinic are discussed.
Learning Objective(s)
- Explain how to interpret genetic results in monogenic disease
- Describe the economic argument to fund genetic testing to policy makers
- Articulate a reverse phenotyping approach integrating genetic testing with phenotypes
- Summarize the process behind building a nephrology genetics clinic
Learning Pathway(s)
- Genetic Diseases and Development
