Abstract
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been applied to complex diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, successfully uncovering strong gene associations of potential pathophysiologic significance. Recently, two studies (Köttgen et al., 2010; Chambers et al., 2010) have been applied to uncover genes relevant to the pathophysiology of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
