Genetic Testing in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Insights and Applications
Genetic testing plays a crucial role in identifying inherited kidney diseases, with around 15% of CKD cases having monogenic causes. Despite a high percentage of patients reporting a family history of CKD, Mendelian causes only account for about 10% of adult ESRD cases. Understanding the genetic bas

Mendelian Inheritance and the Rediscovery of Mendel's Work
Mendelian inheritance, based on Gregor Mendel's laws proposed in the 19th century, laid the groundwork for modern genetics. Despite initial neglect, Mendel's work was rediscovered in 1900 after notable developments in biology. This historical overview highlights Mendel's contributions and the journe
