Brief description of study

What is this study about?
We will look at genetic biomarkers to explore potential racial differences that could inform the treatment of bone disease in children (under age 21) with kidney disease.

THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Potential participants will be approached by a research team member who are at the pediatric dialysis unit at Riley Children’s Hospital.

Detailed description of study

What will happen during study participation?
  • Specimen collection will take approximately 3-4 minutes to provide a saliva sample into the provided container (or if a child is unable to spit, we will collect a cheek swab). 
  • After a sample is provided, participants will remain in the study for 1 year as data are obtained from the electronic medical record but there will be no further interaction directly with participants.
