Why Kidneys? Frequency, Outcomes and the Nephron 1 in 8 Australian Adults have a marker of Kidney Disease Genetic or Inheritable Kidney Disease 1 in 10 Adults >250 Implicated genes, multiple disease spectra with renal disease 1 in 2 Children with renal disease Understanding remains significantly incomplete
Mission Statement The KidGen Collaborative is an Australian-based consortium of clinicians , genetic counsellors and researchers focused on providing a definitive diagnosis to patients with inherited forms of kidney disease within a multidisciplinary clinic. Goal Within a three year period standard care for patients with inherited kidney disease will include access to a multi-disciplinary clinic , with genomic testing and genetic counselling for the family where appropriate Aims 1. Provide equitable access to genomic technology within clinical care for Australian families with kidney disease. 2. Evaluate whether multidisciplinary clinics which include a nephrologist, clinical geneticist and genetic counsellor improve the outcome, patient experience and standard of care for patients with inherited kidney disease and their families 3. Expand knowledge of the causes of inherited kidney disease through gene validation and disease modelling. 4. Improve understanding of inherited kidney disease in the hope of developing new treatments .
