Growing genomic knowledge has provided immense insight into the aetiology and mechanisms of kidney diseases but raises ethical issues that risk the successful implementation of genomic medicine. We highlight such issues in two contexts: the return of individual genetic results from nephrology research and preimplantation genetic diagnosis for heritable kidney diseases.

肾脏疾病基因检测的伦理学。

不断增长的基因组知识提供了对肾脏疾病病因和机制的深入了解，但也引发了伦理问题，危及基因组医学的成功实施。我们在两个背景下强调了这些问题：肾脏病学研究的个体遗传结果的返回和遗传性肾脏疾病的植入前遗传诊断。
