Article Synopsis
- Scientists created a smart computer program called UWF-CKDS to help find out if someone has chronic kidney disease (CKD) using special images of the eyes.
- They tested this program with information from 23 hospitals in China and found that it worked really well.
- The program looks at tiny details in the eye that relate to kidney health, making it better than older methods at predicting CKD for many people.
Background: Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominant inherited cancer syndrome, and VHL is identified as a tumor suppressor gene. The main objective of this study was to identify disease-causing mutations in a Chinese family affected with VHL disease.
Methods: Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood from a Chinese family with VHL.
