APOL1-G0 or APOL1-G2 Transgenic Models Develop Preeclampsia but Not Kidney Disease
29 Mar 2016
Abstract excerpt
APOL1 risk variants are associated with kidney disease in blacks, but the mechanisms of renal injury associated with APOL1 risk variants are unknown. Because APOL1 is unique to humans and some primates, we created transgenic (Tg) mice using the promoter of nephrin-encoding Nphs1 to express the APOL1 reference sequence (G0) or the G2 risk variant in podocytes, establishing Tg lines with a spectrum of APOL1...
