Genetic studies of kidney diseases over the past two decades have provided novel insights into underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms and spurred progress toward the goal of precision medicine. This chapter provides a primer on genetic variation, methods for gene discovery of monogenic kidney diseases (linkage analysis and next-generation sequencing), and identification of risk loci for kidney diseases with complex inheritance (genome-wide association studies [GWAS]). The chapter also briefly discusses the challenges in interpretation of identified variants from next-generation sequencing (NGS).
