ASN Kidney Week 2025: Genetics in Clinical Nephrology
A practical update on genetic kidney diseases—diagnostics, test interpretation, ethics, and real-world clinical integration
One-time access · Lifetime availability · Google Drive delivery · Downloadable files (not streaming)
Program Overview
This program delivers a comprehensive update on genetic kidney diseases, including modern advances in diagnostics, evolving therapeutic approaches, and how to integrate genetic testing into day-to-day nephrology practice. Through expert presentations, interactive discussions, and workshops, participants gain practical skills in genetic test interpretation, patient communication, and ethical decision-making.
Case-based learning and real-world applications provide actionable strategies to enhance patient care and strengthen multidisciplinary collaboration in nephrogenetics—especially when evaluating rare kidney diseases, interpreting complex variants, and applying results to management plans.
What You’ll Learn
- How to incorporate nephrogenetics into clinical workflows—from suspicion to testing to management
- How to interpret genetic reports: variant classification, pathogenicity, and clinical implications
- How to handle variants of uncertain significance (VUS) with a structured clinical approach
- How to communicate genetic results to patients and families with clarity and sensitivity
- Ethical considerations when ordering testing and returning results
- How to use online resources and databases for rare kidney disease diagnosis and management
- How to collaborate effectively with genetic counselors, researchers, and nephrology colleagues
