The Kidney Genetics Group at @sheffielduni is working to find cures for polycystic kidney disease (PKD)

[KidneyGeneticsGroup @Ong_Lab]

The Ong Lab is very pleased to share this exciting new research with you all...

[Sheffield Uni News and Views @ShefUniNews]

A new drug compound which could tackle major life-limiting kidney disease has been developed by researchers @ShefUni_IICD as part of an international collaboration.

Congratulations Rebecca! Well done!

[Becca Walker @Dr_R_Walker]

Happy to announce our latest paper!
We show that a small C-terminal product of FPC localises to mitochondria and functions to protect against renal cystogenesis.

Thanks so much to everyone involved!

Exciting and demanding @goKDIGO meeting to provide guidance for #adpkd.
Great great team!!
Amazing team-work, especially the chairs #torres and #devuyst!! Huge thanks to @goKDIGO staff!! Special mention to smart @Reem_A_Mustafa

🔥New paper highlights importance of genetic testing in CKD pts when etiology is not certain

Presentation non-specific: Non-proteinuria CKD, HTN, no gout, +FH, Bx mostly shows IFTA

How many such patients have 🫵 seen in clinic⁉️

[KidneyGeneticsGroup @Ong_Lab]

We identified 41 pedigrees with the UMOD variant across regional centres and national databases.

This study provides evidence for a pathogenic ancestral variant prevalent in the British population that is responsible for kidney failure and chronic kidney disease.

[KidneyGeneticsGroup @Ong_Lab]

Delighted to share our recent publication.

A founder UMOD variant is a common cause of hereditary nephropathy in the British population.

Thank you to all who helped with this work!

Congratulations Dr Brooks on completing your PhD! Very well deserved and you will be sorely missed.

Hope your head isn't too sore this morning!

[Elliot Brooks @ECBrooks92]

This still hasn't quite sunk in! Thanks @delaevanio and @Ong_Lab and many others for all the support over the years! #PhDone

The 2nd project funded as part of our partnership with @Kidney_Research is that of Professor Albert Ong, who is on a mission to better understand PKD cyst formation - Potentially a major step towards finding a cure for ADPKD!

As a community we are devastated by the loss of our dear friend, phenomenal colleague & inspirational leader, Donal O’Donoghue.

With Donal’s family’s support we have opened an online memorial page with @RCPLondon so we may all share memories & photos.
