Introduction

The working group for rare and hereditary kidney diseases, led by Dr. Bodo Beck, has been researching the genetic basis of kidney dysfunction at the Institute of Human Genetics since 2010. This work primarily benefits people affected by rare and hereditary kidney diseases and their families and is carried out in close cooperation with the treating physicians at the children's clinic and other biomedical disciplines. Our working group is an integral part of the Cologne Center for Rare Diseases.
