Multispecies, Integrative GWAS for Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis

Abstract

The overall goals of this project are to identify novel susceptibility variants to human nephrotic syndrome caused by focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and minimal change disease (MCD). Using a variety of statistical and genetic approaches, including genome wide association analysis and rare copy number variations (CNVs) mapping, we anticipate the identification of novel variants that may provide insight into some of the genetic mechanisms that underlie FSGS.
