Image: Depiction of genomic imbalances detected in patients with chronic kidney disease. The human chromosomes are shown (numbered). The colored bars represent the pathogenic genomic deletions (red) and duplications (blue) detected in a patient. In total, the study identified 21 different genetic lesions in 31 patients, indicating that most patients had a unique genomic pathology. The size of each bar is proportional to the size of the genomic lesion (Photo courtesy of Dr. Ali Gharavi, Columbia University).
