Chronic kidney disease in children and the role of epigenetics: Future therapeutic trajectories

Abstract: Abstract. Global differences in the observed causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children are well documented and are attributed to dissimilarities in clime, race, hereditary, and ancestry. Thus, familial clustering and disparities in CKD prevalence rates across ethnic and racial groups indicate that the progression of renal disease has a strong genetic component. Mammalian studies have demonstrated a feasible nexus between nutrition and non-genetic exposure (around the time of conception and in epigenet… Show more

“…Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has recently emerged as a global health burden; its worldwide prevalence has been estimated to range between 8 and 16% which could cause millions of mortalities annually [1]. Risk factors influencing CKD are divided into two main subgroups: Environment and genetics factors.…”

“…Approximately 25% of incident dialysis patients have close relatives with CKD ( Freedman et al, 2005 ), and the distinct susceptibilities of different rodent strains to experimental CKD strongly suggests that genetic variations impact renal fibrogenesis ( Kokeny et al, 2009 ). Likewise, familial clustering and disparities in prevalence of CKD across race suggest a strong genetic component to progression ( Uwaezuoke et al, 2016 ). However, identifying relevant polymorphisms in human kidney disease has been somewhat disappointing to date ( Tampe and Zeisberg, 2014 ).…”

“…Chronic kidney Disease (CKD) is described as the availability of kidney damage or decreased renal function that lasts for three months or more, regardless of its cause. This disease, which is common worldwide (8% -16%), is a global health problem that causes millions of deaths each year (1). There are two primary important risk factors for CKD; genetic, environmental.…”
