Although there are many advances in understanding novel genetic and environmental factors affecting the pathophysiology of various glomerular diseases, there is an insufficient number of basic and translational studies that integrate clinical, pathological, and genetic information.
To gain insight into pathophysiology and novel treatment targets of glomerular disease, Korea Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, has designed the KOrea Renal biobank NEtwoRk System TOward Next-generation analysis (KORNERSTONE). Read this paper which provides the rationale and design of the KORNERSTONE.
