Promising but preliminary

Integrating machine learning and GWAS for variant prioritization in the INCIPE cohort highlights ABC transporter genes in chronic kidney disease.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health challenge, affecting approximately 674 million people worldwide and representing one of the fastest-growing causes of mortality. Since CKD is frequently asymptomatic in its early stages, the identification of novel genetic biomarkers may improve early detection and risk stratification.
