  2. 2

    Review the genetic causes of nephronophthisis-related ciliopathies;

  3. 3

    Review the differential diagnosis of nephronophthisis-related ciliopathies with a focus on genetic conditions;

  4. 4

    Provide an evaluation strategy to identify the genetic cause of a nephronophthisis-related ciliopathy in a proband (when possible);
