The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays a critical role in ureteric bud (UB) and kidney morphogenesis. Mutations in the genes encoding components of the RAS cause a spectrum of congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT). However, the mechanisms by which aberrations in the RAS result in CAKUT are poorly understood. Given that c-Ret receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) is a major...
