    Researchers have identified 35 genes linked to the risk of chronic kidney disease, and based on this result, better diagnoses and treatments are expected to be developed in the future, according to a new study by the University of Manchester.
    given that kidney disease itself involves many genetic factors, the long-standing lack of understanding of the relevant genetic mechanisms in academia limits the development of diagnosis and treatment techniques for such diseases. New research by an international team led by academics at the University of Manchester has the potential to change that, and the results have been published in the British journal Nature Communications.Tomaszewski, lead author of the
    report and a professor at the University of Manchester, said the team used "next-generation ICS sequencing techniques" to complete the study, "and we hope that the newly discovered kidney genes will find effective targets for future diagnosis and treatment of chronic kidney disease."
    one of the genes, mucin-1, has caught their attention, according to researchers, and the mutation has been found in patients with family-owned kidney failure.
    researchers say it would be more beneficial to diagnose the risk of kidney disease at an early stage through genetic testing in the future. (Xinhuanet)
