Inheritance of Kidney and Urinary Tract Diseases

Inheritance of Kidney and Urinary Tract Diseases edited by Adrian Spitzer, Ellis D. Avner.

Genetic disorders have emerged as a prominent cause of morbidity and mor­ tality among infants and adults. As many as 10% to 20% of hospital admis­ sions and at least 10% of the mortality in this age group are due to inherited diseases. There are at least two factors that have brought genetic disord...
