Abstract
[Extract] Diagnostics, therapy, and care for individuals affected by chronic kidney disease (CKD) are continuing to be better characterized, with increasing recognition of the resultant high health and economic burden worldwide due to CKD. Genetic contributors to CKD are also being better recognized and considered among both adults and children affected by CKD, with more than 500 different genes thus far identified to be associated with CKD. This Research Topic provides a concise overview of the current knowledge and outlook on future developments in diverse hereditary kidney diseases leading to CKD. The focus of this Research Topic is hereditary nephropathies including glomerulopathies (e.g., Alport syndrome and nephrotic syndrome), ciliopathies, tubulopathies, and congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT). Here, we provide a broad overview of the articles included and reflect on the progress still to be made in this important area.
