Abstract

The molecular mechanisms that underlie associations in GWAS, incl. chronic kidney disease (CKD), are largely unknown. Here, the authors perform an integrative analysis of genetic, transcriptomic and epigenomic data from human kidney to pinpoint plausible molecular pathways of CKD genetic associations.
