title: Genetics in kidney disease in 2013: Susceptibility genes for renal and urological disorders.
abstract: In 2013, substantial progress was made in uncovering the genetic basis of a variety of kidney and urological disorders, including congenital and developmental diseases. The new findings will lead to an increased understanding of the pathophysiology of these diseases, improved risk prediction and the development of novel therapies.
