Clin Kidney J . 2025 Feb; 18(2):sfae397. PMID: 39927257
Background And Hypothesis: The two apolipoprotein L1 () variants, G1 and G2, are common in populations of sub-Saharan African ancestry. Individuals with two of these alleles (G1 or G2) have...

J Clin Invest . 2024 Aug; 134(19). PMID: 39190485
BACKGROUNDCystic kidney disease (CyKD) is a predominantly familial disease in which gene discovery has been led by family-based and candidate gene studies, an approach that is susceptible to ascertainment and...

Voinescu C, Mozere M, Genovese G, Downie M, Gupta S, Gale D, et al.
Kidney Int . 2024 Feb; 105(4):791-798. PMID: 38367960
Class 2 HLA and PLA2R1 alleles are exceptionally strong genetic risk factors for membranous nephropathy (MN), leading, through an unknown mechanism, to a targeted autoimmune response. Introgressed archaic haplotypes (introduced...

Downie M, Gupta S, Voinescu C, Levine A, Sadeghi-Alavijeh O, Dufek-Kamperis S, et al.
Kidney Int Rep . 2023 Aug; 8(8):1562-1574. PMID: 37547536
Introduction: Steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) is the most common form of kidney disease in children worldwide. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have demonstrated the association of SSNS with genetic variation at...

Chan M, Sadeghi-Alavijeh O, Lopes F, Hilger A, Stanescu H, Voinescu C, et al.
Elife . 2022 Sep; 11. PMID: 36124557
Posterior urethral valves (PUV) are the commonest cause of end-stage renal disease in children, but the genetic architecture of this rare disorder remains unknown. We performed a sequencing-based genome-wide association...

Issler N, Afonso S, Weissman I, Jordan K, Cebrian-Serrano A, Meindl K, et al.
J Am Soc Nephrol . 2022 Feb; 33(4):732-745. PMID: 35149593
Background: The endocytic reabsorption of proteins in the proximal tubule requires a complex machinery and defects can lead to tubular proteinuria. The precise mechanisms of endocytosis and processing of receptors...

Nat Commun . 2020 Apr; 11(1):1600. PMID: 32231244
Membranous Nephropathy (MN) is a rare autoimmune cause of kidney failure. Here we report a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for primary MN in 3,782 cases and 9,038 controls of East...

J Am Soc Nephrol . 2019 Jul; 30(8):1375-1384. PMID: 31263063
Background: Steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS), the most common form of nephrotic syndrome in childhood, is considered an autoimmune disease with an established classic HLA association. However, the precise etiology of...

Nature . 2019 Jun; 571(7763):107-111. PMID: 31217582
Large-scale genome sequencing is poised to provide a substantial increase in the rate of discovery of disease-associated mutations, but the functional interpretation of such mutations remains challenging. Here we show...

J Am Soc Nephrol . 2018 Apr; 29(7):1849-1858. PMID: 29654216
For many patients with kidney failure, the cause and underlying defect remain unknown. Here, we describe a novel mechanism of a genetic order characterized by renal Fanconi syndrome and kidney...
