Clinical Genetic Testing in Nephrology: Core Curriculum 2024
Implementation of clinical genetic testing into the routine diagnostic workup of patients with kidney disorders can improve care when employed with proper patient selection. Due to advances in technology, testing with curated gene panels associated with kidney diseases are commercially available, are relatively inexpensive, and have quick turnaround time. While this may reduce barrier to entry, their adoption into routine nephrology care may be hindered when practitioners do not have comfort and experience ordering or interpreting these tests.
