Race, Genomics and Chronic Disease: What Patients with African Ancestry Have to Say

1 Jan 2017

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Variants of the APOL1 gene increase risk for kidney failure 10-fold, and are nearly exclusively found in people with African ancestry. To translate genomic discoveries into practice, we gathered information about effects and challenges incorporating genetic risk in clinical care. METHODS: An academic-community-clinical team tested 26 adults with self-reported African ancestry for APOL1 variants,...
