Objective: The aim: This study is designed to investigate the possible association of genetic polymorphism expression of UMOD gene and chronic kidney disease in population.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: In the current study, the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped in the promoter region of the UMOD gene in CKD patients to assess its association with the kidney outcome of CKD. So 50 patients' blood samples suffered from CKD were collected. Among these patients, 21 were men and 29 women, aged 35 - 85 years old. Another group included 50 healthy subjects. DNA was extracted from all blood samples with EDTA using Quick DNA miniprep Kit ZYMO, (Cat№ D3025) according to manufacturer's instructions. Genotyping of 1 common polymorphisms (rs4293393) of the UMOD gene was done and the RNA was extracted and converted to cDNA and a set of primers was used to amplify specific region within the UMOD gene; another set was used to amplify the GAPDH gene to use it in calculation as a reference gene.
Results: Results and conclusions: After statistical analysis, the results showed that there could be association between having CC mutant polymorphism in UMOD gene and having CKD.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is closely linked to the aging process, making the identification of protein biomarkers that reflect aging in specific organs and tissues crucial for a deeper understanding of this phenomenon. This study aimed to identify potential aging-related proteins present in the urine of CKD patients. Utilizing liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) proteomic analysis, we identified a total of 1,712 proteins in the urine samples from both healthy controls and CKD patients in our discovery cohort.

The trafficking dynamics of uromodulin (UMOD), the most abundant protein in human urine, play a critical role in the pathogenesis of kidney disease. Monoallelic mutations in the UMOD gene cause autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease (ADTKD-UMOD), an incurable genetic disorder that leads to kidney failure. The disease is caused by the intracellular entrapment of mutant UMOD in kidney epithelial cells, but the precise mechanisms mediating disrupted UMOD trafficking remain elusive.

Blacks are more prone to salt-sensitive hypertension than Whites. This cross-sectional analysis of a multi-ethnic cohort aimed to search for proteins potentially involved in the susceptibility to salt sensitivity, hypertension, and hypertension-related complications. The study included individuals enrolled in African Prospective Study on the Early Detection and Identification of Cardiovascular Disease and Hypertension (African-PREDICT), Flemish Study of the Environment, Genes and Health Outcomes (FLEMENGHO), Prospective Cohort Study in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus for Validation of Biomarkers (PROVALID)-Austria, and Urinary Proteomics Combined with Home Blood Pressure Telemonitoring for Health Care Reform Trial (UPRIGHT-HTM).

Article Synopsis
- - Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer, and while genetic changes are linked to its development, the exact mechanisms are not fully understood.
- - Drug treatments can initially be effective, but most patients develop resistance within two years, highlighting the need for multi-target therapies and the identification of key genes involved in ccRCC.
- - Research identified 133 common differentially expressed genes, narrowed them down to 54 significant ones through survival analysis, and discovered eight key genes that are strongly associated with ccRCC progression, which could inform future treatments.
