Thinking about rare kidney diseases.
A rare disease is defined by the federal government as any condition that affects fewer than 200,000 people in the United States. Rare diseases can be distinguished from neglected diseases, such as malaria, hookworm, or Chagas disease, in that neglected diseases receive less attention because although common they are uncommonly found in this country. As so defined, there are 6000 rare diseases ...
متن کاملPotential and pitfalls in the genetic diagnosis of kidney diseases
Next-generation sequencing has dramatically decreased the cost of gene sequencing, facilitating the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes at the same time; obtaining a genetic result for an individual patient has become much easier. The article by Ars and Torra in this issue of the Clinical Kidney Journal provides examples of the ever-increasing ability to understand a given patient's disease...

متن کاملRare inherited kidney diseases: challenges, opportunities, and perspectives.
At least 10% of adults and nearly all children who receive renal-replacement therapy have an inherited kidney disease. These patients rarely die when their disease progresses and can remain alive for many years because of advances in organ-replacement therapy. However, these disorders substantially decrease their quality of life and have a large effect on health-care systems. Since the kidneys ...
متن کاملRare diseases, rare presentations: recognizing atypical inherited kidney disease phenotypes in the age of genomics
A significant percentage of adults (10%) and children (20%) on renal replacement therapy have an inherited kidney disease (IKD). The new genomic era, ushered in by the next generation sequencing techniques, has contributed to the identification of new genes and facilitated the genetic diagnosis of the highly heterogeneous IKDs. Consequently, it has also allowed the reclassification of diseases ...
