APOL1 risk variants and death among African American hemodialysis patients: survival of the fittest?

Kidney international - 1 Aug 2016

Chen Teresa K, Estrella Michelle M

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies have focused on associations of the APOL1 risk variants with outcomes beyond kidney disease, including cardiovascular disease and mortality. Ma and colleagues now expand on this growing but contradicting body of work. Their analysis of a prevalent cohort of African American hemodialysis patients shows that the risk variants are associated with a survival benefit among nondiabetics. Whether this...
