New sex-specific genetic variants for chronic kidney disease identified
e:Med alliance SYMPATH, led by Prof. Dr. Markus Scholz, Leipzig University, has discovered genes that may be involved in chronic kidney disease, as now published with an international consortium. Analyzing data from 900,000 individuals, they detected sex-sensitive genetic effects influencing the risk and progression of chronic kidney disease differentially in women and men. These findings serve as a base for further research into suitable specific treatment
