Genomic clinical practice and research are playing key roles in the treatment of patients with kidney dysfunction. The focus of this brief report is to update the practitioner on key genetic terminology needed to understand and translate genetic information to nephrology patients, identify genetic mutations that can lead to kidney failure, and summarize new genetic technologies that are transitioning from research into practice.
