A thorough understanding of the ontogeny of renal ion and solute transport is required to best understand the contribution of the differentiating kidney to growth and homeostasis as well as the role of dysregulated transport in the genesis of disease. Elucidation of the molecular basis for a number of single gene disorders associated with defects in tubular transport has provided important insight into the developmental pathways involved in establishing normal transepithelial transport and disease pathogenesis. This symposium will feature presentations that highlight recent advances in our understanding of the developmental regulation of epithelial transport and how these pathways contribute to the response of fully differentiated kidney to disease.
