Rutgers University Study of the Genetics of Kidney Disease
This is an online study from Rutgers University looking at how your genes might affect your risk of kidney disease. You would provide a saliva sample for DNA (genetic material) and fill out health surveys online. The study aims to find genetic differences linked to kidney disease over two years. Anyone 18 or older living in the U.S. can join, and you don't need to have kidney disease already. The study is currently recruiting participants.
- Study design
- This is an observational study planning to enroll 50,000 participants. It is designed to observe genetic factors related to kidney disease.
- What's involved
- You would complete online health surveys and provide a saliva sample using a kit mailed to your home. This takes about 20 minutes.
- Compensation
- You may opt to receive information about your genetic ancestry at no cost.
- Follow-up
- The study will look for genetic risk variants associated with kidney disease at 2 years.

What this trial measures
- Genetic risk variants associated with kidney disease2 years
Genetic factors will be measured through whole exome sequencing along with genotyping of common variants, and then correlated with kidney disease and/or kidney disease subtype.
