Urinary Metabolite GWAS Leads to Biomarkers of Kidney Disease
The kidneys integrate information from continuous systemic processes related to the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) of metabolites. Scientists have identified ties between urine metabolite levels and common genetic variants, laying the foundation for a more refined view of human metabolic processes and the tissues in which they take place.
