Inside this resource
Genetic testing methodologies and interpretation
Faculty differentiate among various genetic testing methodologies and explain how to interpret results, including variant classification and variants of uncertain significance. Sessions address the clinical implications of different genetic findings for patient management.
Ethical considerations and patient communication
Dedicated sessions cover ethical considerations when ordering genetic testing and returning results. Faculty address patient communication strategies for discussing genetic findings and managing patient expectations around genetic testing.
Rare kidney disease management
The program describes diagnostic and management strategies for rare kidney diseases using online resources and databases. Case-based learning provides actionable insights for recognizing and managing inherited renal conditions in clinical practice.
Interdisciplinary collaboration
Faculty discuss collaboration with genetic counselors, nephrology professionals, and researchers to optimize patient outcomes. Sessions address building multidisciplinary teams for nephrogenetics and integrating genetic services into nephrology practice.
