Scientists hunt for drug targets in rare kidney disorder

NCT ID NCT06648044

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study looks at the genetic causes of nephronophthisis, a rare kidney disease that leads to kidney failure before age 20. Researchers will collect urine and blood samples from 310 patients and healthy relatives to study cells and identify potential drug targets. The goal is to find new ways to treat this condition, for which no effective therapy currently exists.
