| [ Summary ] | In recent years there have been many reports from epigenetic studies of various chronic maladies. These studies have led to rapid progress in treatment. Some reports have suggested an association between chronic kidney disease, mineral and bone disorders (CKD-MBD) and epigenetics. If we elucidate this molecular mechanism of the epigenetics of CKD-MBD, there is a possibility of developing innovative drug therapies. |
