Deskripsi

Identifying causal variants and genes is an essential step in interpreting GWAS loci. Here, the authors investigate a kidney disease GWAS locus with functional genomics data, CRISPR editing and mouse experiments to identify DPEP1 and CHMP1A as putative kidney disease genes via ferroptosis.
