Abstract:

Rare kidney diseases account for a substantial proportion of chronic kidney disorders and often result from inherited genet ic abnormalities that affect renal structure and function. Recent advances in molecular genetics, high-throughput sequenc ing, and targeted therapeutics have transformed the understanding and treatment of these conditions. This presentation explores the application of precision medicine in diagnosing and managing rare renal disorders through comprehensive genomic analysis and biomarker-driven clinical decision-making. Particular emphasis is placed on targeted molecular thera pies, personalized treatment approaches, and the integration of multidisciplinary care for improving long-term patient out comes. Emerging technologies, including gene editing, RNA-based therapeutics, and artificial intelligence-assisted diagnos tics, are discussed as promising tools for accelerating therapeutic development. The presentation also addresses challenges associated with clinical trial design, access to orphan drugs, regulatory approval, and international collaboration. Continued research and global partnerships are essential for improving diagnosis, expanding therapeutic options, and enhancing the quality of life for patients affected by rare kidney diseases.
