Would you recommend genetic testing to determine if there is a potential underlying primary process in a patient with congenital solitary kidney who is presumed to have secondary FSGS?

I do recommend genetic testing more frequently especially at our institution in which the cost to the patient is minimal to none. I would imagine very rarely one finds a positive genetic test result but one never knows what we find until we do the testing.
