Basic/Clinical Science Session
Complex Genetics of Kidney Diseases
October 23, 2026 | 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Location: Mile High Ballroom 4D, Convention Center
Session Description
This session highlights the complexities of the genetic basis of kidney diseases. Presentations feature cutting-edge research on the genetics of complex kidney traits and showcase a diverse range of approaches and insights emerging from large biobank-scale genetic analyses.
Learning Objective(s)
- Discuss new genetic discoveries for glomerular disorders
- Describe genomic approaches to CKD of unexplained cause (CKDx)
- Summarize new genetic discoveries emerging from large electronic health record (EHR)-linked biobanks
- Outline the spectrum of kidney disease risk alleles at the UMOD locus
Learning Pathway(s)
- Genetic Diseases and Development
