observing kidney development defects in Meis1‐mutant mouse embryos.[12] Moreover, a previous study showed that Meis1 overexpression significantly inhibits proliferation, invasion, and migration of renal carcinoma cells.[13] However, the role of Meis1 in renal fibrosis and CKD has not been determined. The gene discussed is MEIS1; the disease is renal carcinoma.
