We developed kidney organoid models of X-linked Alport syndrome carrying deep-intronic variants. Through in-depth characterization, we demonstrate their potential as a robust platform for individualized splice-switching therapy development. #Alport #ASO

🚨Check out our latest paper in AJKD! We highlighted the importance of unbiased and large-scale genetic testing in ADTKD-MUC1.

Using VNtyper, we identified de novo cases and ADTKD was not initially suspected in ~40% of positive cases in our cohort.
