Metabolomic Analysis as a Window into the Etiology of Mesoamerican Nephropathy

- Duration
- 2019-2020
- Coordinator
- Oriana Ramirez Rubio (ISGlobal)
- Funded by
- Fundación Íñigo Álvarez de Toledo (FRIAT)
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomic analysis of approximately 1,000 urine samples of already ongoing research projects (genome wide case control study and a children cohort in Nicaragua, and an occupational cohort in Spain, LeRAgs) will be performed focusing on the identification of metabolites of endogenous and exogenous compounds.
This is a pioneer pilot project to explore metabolomic analysis related to MeN/CKDu. The project includes researchers at Boston University, ISGlobal and CIC-Biogune.
