Abstract
Several genes associated with the development of chronic glomerular and tubulointerstitial kidney diseases have been detected. Recent developments include an improved understanding of potential mechanisms involved in nondiabetic glomerulosclerosis, including apolipoprotein L1 gene (APOL1)-associated nephropathy, as well as autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease. The identification of genes associated with diabetic kidney disease has proven more challenging. Nephropathy susceptibility genes are changing the classification of common complex kidney diseases, offering new insights into pathogenesis and providing hope for novel treatments. This chapter reviews genetic associations and mechanisms of injury in diabetic and nondiabetic glomerular and tubulointerstitial kidney diseases.
