  • Epigenomic and transcriptomic analyses define core cell types, genes and targetable mechanisms for kidney disease. - Nature genetics (2022) · Liu H, Doke T, Guo D, Sheng X, Ma Z, Park J, Vy HMT, Nadkarni GN, Abedini A, Miao Z, Palmer M, Voight BF, Li H, Brown CD, Ritchie MD, Shu Y, Susztak K · PubMed 35710981

    More than 800 million people suffer from kidney disease, yet the mechanism of kidney dysfunction is poorly understood. In the present study, we define the genetic association with kidney function in 1.5 million individuals and identify 878 (126 new) loci. We map the genotype effect on the methylome in 443 kidneys, transcriptome in 686 samples and single-cell open chromatin in 57,229 kidney cells. Heritability analysis reveals that methylation variation explains a larger fraction of heritability than gene expression. We present a multi-stage prioritization strategy and prioritize target genes for 87% of kidney function loci. We highlight key roles of proximal tubules and metabolism in kidney function regulation. Furthermore, the causal role of SLC47A1 in kidney disease is defined in mice wi

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Discuss with your doctor

  • Genetic kidney function risk Moderate

    Strong GWAS evidence shows rs10788623 risk allele A associates with reduced kidney function

    Share this genetic finding with your doctor; discuss monitoring schedule and preventive care

Lifestyle

  • Regular NSAID use Low

    NSAIDs reduce renal blood flow and can accelerate kidney decline in genetically at-risk individuals

    Use acetaminophen instead when possible; consult doctor before regular NSAID use

Screening

  • Kidney function (eGFR and serum creatinine) Moderate

    rs10788623 risk allele A is associated with reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate

    Obtain baseline kidney panel if not recently tested; annual monitoring
