Whole-genome sequencing characterizes monogenic and polygenic contributions to structural kidney and urinary tract malformations
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to characterize the genomic architecture of congenital anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tract (CAKUT) using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) in a cohort of 1,052 individuals. They found a low overall diagnostic yield of 4.9% for monogenic causes, with certain clinical features predicting higher rates, while common and low-frequency variants were estimated to explain 23% of the phenotypic variance, suggesting these variants may contribute to the heritability of CAKUT.
