Role of Recurrent Somatic Mutation and Progerin Expression in Early Vascular Aging of Chronic Kidney Disease

1. Academic Background and Research Rationale Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a global public health challenge. Epidemiological data indicate that CKD affects approximately 10–12% of the world’s population, acting as a major driver of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality worldwide. CKD patients often display “Early Vascular Aging” (EVA) phenomena...
