note = "Funding Information: The aim of EUNEFRON is to mobilize a critical mass of expertise to investigate, on a Europe-wide scale, the natural history and pathophysiology of a series of rare inherited diseases of the kidney. The project will exploit the technological opportunities of the post-genome era and the knowledge generated through existing networks and projects funded by the FP6, including EuReGene, the European Renal Genome project [5]. In particular, EUNEFRON will use in vitro and in vivo models to pursue specific objectives in 16 diseases affecting the glomerulus, the proximal tubule (PT), the thick ascending limb (TAL), the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and the collecting duct (CD) (Figure 2). These diseases are caused by mutations in 20 genes that encode proteins involved in a wide range of functions, including enzymatic activities, transport mechanisms, structure and transcriptional",
