摘要: With the advent of transcriptome profiling techniques, an enormous amount data has been generated in field molecular nephrology. We will review analysis tools and challenges for genomic approaches present their application gene-expression studies on kidney biopsies. The findings this rapidly evolving may ultimately complement histopathological analysis, current diagnostic prognostic gold standard. Altogether, genomics bring nephrology one-step closer to a systematic understanding biological processes involved renal disease.
