Genetics of Urologic Malformations
The National Institute of Diabetes and
Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)
is gathering a dynamic group of geneticists,
clinicians, and developmental biologists to
discuss genetic approaches to vesicoureteral
reflux—a common pediatric condition in
which urine flows from the bladder back into
the ureters. The meeting, titled "Genetics
of Urologic Malformations," will take place
in Crystal City, VA, December 7–8, 2009.
