Published: November 2012

People with chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease often suffer from multiple related disorders, progressive deconditioning, and loss of functional capacity. Yet increased physical activity has been shown to improve patients' quality of life and nutrition, reduce inflammation and depression, and decrease treatment costs and the need for hospitalization. Exercise training should thus be considered an important part of the overall care of people with CKD, while increased physical activity is beneficial at all stages of the disease and can help empower patients to take more control over their own health.

Homologous recombination is a largely error-free DNA repair mechanism conserved across all domains of life and is essential for the maintenance of genome integrity. Not only are the mutations in homologous recombination repair genes probable cancer drivers, some also cause genetic disorders. In particular, mutations in the Bloom (BLM) helicase cause Bloom Syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by increased sister chromatid exchanges and predisposition to a variety of cancers.
