Kidney Genetics

The goals of the ASPN Kidney Genetics Interest Group are to:

• 1. Create a community for pediatric nephrologists involved in kidney genetics or interested in learning more about genetic testing for kidney disease
  2. Discuss best practices for genetic testing in kidney disease
  3. Gather insights from others on the logistics of running a kidney genetics clinic and sharing ideas for clinic models
  4. Discuss interesting and difficult cases in determining genetic diagnoses for kidney disease or how to handle variants of uncertain significance
  5. Discuss ethics of genetic testing in pediatric patients, including insurance implications and genetic counseling
  6. Expanding research in kidney genetics
