Inference and Prediction Using Functional Principal Components Analysis: Application to Diabetic Kidney Disease Progression in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study [PDF]
Repeated longitudinal measurements are commonly used to model long-term disease progression, and timing and number of assessments per patient may vary, leading to irregularly spaced and sparse data. Longitudinal trajectories may exhibit curvilinear patterns, in which mixed linear regression methods may fail to capture true trends in the data.

Proteomic analysis of heart failure hospitalization among patients with chronic kidney disease: The Heart and Soul Study. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased risk for heart failure (HF). We aimed to investigate differences in proteins associated with HF hospitalizations among patients with and without CKD in the Heart and Soul Study ...

Abstract Galloway–Mowat syndrome (GAMOS) is a very rare condition characterized by early‐onset nephrotic syndrome and microcephaly with variable neurologic features. While considerable genetic heterogeneity of GAMOS has been identified, the majority of cases are caused by pathogenic variants in genes encoding the four components of the Kinase ...

Second-order group knockoffs with applications to GWAS [PDF]
Conditional testing via the knockoff framework allows one to identify -- among large number of possible explanatory variables -- those that carry unique information about an outcome of interest, and also provides a false discovery rate guarantee on the selection.

Long-term renal function and hypertension in adult survivors of childhood sarcoma [PDF]
Aim: Little data is available on long-term renal impairment in survivors from childhood sarcoma. We investigated the prevalence of renal impairment and hypertension after very long-term follow-up in survivors who reached adulthood after treatment for ...

Juvenile mucopolysaccharidosis plus disease caused by a missense mutation in VPS33A
Abstract A rare and fatal disease resembling mucopolysaccharidosis in infants, is caused by impaired intracellular endocytic trafficking due to deficiency of core components of the intracellular membrane‐tethering protein complexes, HOPS, and CORVET. Whole exome sequencing identified a novel VPS33A mutation in a patient suffering from a variant form of

Effect of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists on proteinuria and progression of chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Background: Hypertension and proteinuria are critically involved in the progression of chronic kidney disease. Despite treatment with renin angiotensin system inhibition, kidney function declines in many patients.
