Description

Yasar Caliskan and a very large international team report a 2026 study of genetic testing practices for people being assessed as living kidney donors. Testing is used more often in this setting, but hard data on how centres actually use it were lacking. The study drew on an international registry built for this purpose.

Centres recorded de-identified details for donor candidates who had genetic testing, a family history of genetic kidney disease, or a related recipient whose disease cause was unknown. Data were collected between June 2023 and November 2025. The registry shows how widely testing is used and what it finds. Such evidence can help centres set consistent policy for donors and families.
