Figure 2. Application of omics technologies in rare kidney diseases.

Figure 2

Next-generation sequencing techniques and omics technologies, which can directly probe the kidney, will improve diagnostic efficiency for genetic renal diseases. Genomic studies and molecular profiling of kidney tissues, plain and exosome-enriched urine, and multiscalar bioinformatic analysis of crucial disease pathways, will allow the development of mechanistic renal disease ontologies, diagnostic tests, biomarkers, and novel therapeutic targets.
