Basic/Clinical Science Session
Expanding the Scope of Genetic Contributions to CKD
October 23, 2026 | 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Location: Mile High Ballroom 4D, Convention Center
Session Description
This session discusses advances in our understanding of how changes in genetic material (e.g., chromosomes, DNA, RNA) can influence the development of CKD. The session highlights recent insights from the genetic mapping of declining kidney function. The effects of loss of genetic information, regulatory processing, and organelle dysfunction are discussed in the context of chronically injured kidneys.
Learning Objective(s)
- Explain how genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are performed and interpreted
- Describe how chromosomal loss and telomere dysfunction affect CKD
Learning Pathway(s)
- Genetic Diseases and Development
- Kidney Biology and Physiology
