  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
