Genetics of Congenital Anomalies of the Kidney and Urinary Tract

The Genetics of Congenital Anomalies of the Kidney and Urinary Tract (CAKUT) contributes data from unrelated individuals who were recruited at the Columbia University Medical Center (New York, USA), the Polish Registry of Congenital Malformations (Poland), the Universities of Parma, Bari, and Brescia, and the Gaslini Institute (Italy), the University of Skopje (Macedonia), and VUMC of Amsterdam (Netherlands). These individuals consented to share their data for scientific discovery. The purpose of the study is to investigate the genetic architecture of CAKUT.  Additionally, part of the data in this study was generated from 418 DNA samples from the Randomized Intervention for Children with Vesicoureteral Reflux (RIVUR) study, and supplied by the NIDDK Central Repository. The RIVUR study was conducted by the RIVUR study investigators, and supported by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). The Genetics of CAKUT study was not conducted in collaboration with investigators of the RIVUR study and does not necessarily reflect the opinions or views of the RIVUR study, the NIDDK Central Repository, or the NIDDK. 

Genomic DNA samples were genotyped on Illumina Multi-Ethnic Global Arrays.
