• Genetic screens of imaging-derived kidney volumes identify genes linked to kidney function. - Kidney international (2026) · Monteiro-Martins S, Li Y, Borisov O, Khan A, Reichardt W, Haug S, Kellner E, Buechert M, Ott E, Russe MF, Bamberg F, Kiryluk K, Sekula P, Reisert M, Köttgen A · PubMed 41077127

  Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as sustained abnormalities in kidney function or structure. Genetic studies of CKD have largely focused on kidney function markers such as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). We hypothesized that genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based kidney sub-volumes could provide insights into CKD risk genes complementary to the study of eGFR. Total kidney volume (TKV) and sub-volumes for cortex, medulla, and sinus were derived from abdominal MRIs of 38,816 United Kingdom Biobank participants of European ancestry using a trained convolutional neural network. GWAS was performed for body surface area-normalized kidney volumes and eGFR for comparison. Potentially causal genes at each locus were prioritized using a d

• Genome-wide Association Studies Categorized by Class of Antihypertensive Drugs Reveal Complex Pathogenesis of Hypertension with Drug Resistance. - Clinical pharmacology and therapeutics (2023) · Yamazaki K, Terao C, Takahashi A, Kamatani Y, Matsuda K, Asai S, Takahashi Y · PubMed 37151119

  Resistant hypertension is defined as uncontrolled blood pressure (BP) despite the use of three or more antihypertensive drugs of different classes. Although genetic factors may greatly contribute to hypertension with resistance to multiple drug classes, more than for general hypertension, its pathogenesis remains unknown. To reveal the genetic background of resistant hypertension, we categorized 32,239 patients whose data were obtained from the BioBank Japan Project, by prescription of 7 classes of antihypertensive drugs and performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Our GWAS identified four loci with significant association (P < 5 × 10 ): rs6445583 in CACNA1D and rs12308051 in the intergenic region on chromosome 12 for angiotensin II receptor blockers, rs35497065 in FOXA3
