Ozaltin highlighted international collaboration, revealing the identification of another family with a mutation of the same gene by Technical University of Munich.
Ozaltin noted that two siblings diagnosed with congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract , leading to chronic kidney failure, were examined at Cerrahpasa Faculty of Medicine. “Our scientific study led us to the FOXD2 gene. We have initiated further research on how mutations in this gene lead to CAKUT anomalies.”Ozaltin highlighted international collaboration, revealing the identification of another family with a mutation of the same gene by the Technical University of Munich.
“The relationship between the mutations in the FOXD2 gene was previously known, but the consequences it caused were unknown, and the CAKUT anomaly was established for the first time in the world in this study,” he said.
