BackgroundUnexplained kidney failure (uKF) affects 15% of individuals requiring kidney replacement therapy. Absence of a diagnosis creates uncertainty around recurrence after transplantation, familial risk, and participation in therapeutic trials. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) was used to identify genetic variants contributing to uKF. Methods218 patients who presented with uKF < 50 years old were recruited to the UKs 100,000 Genomes Project. Candidate variants in 183 genes were reviewed for pat...
