Abstract excerpt
Population genetic approaches have uncovered a strong association between kidney diseases and two sequence variants of the APOL1 gene, called APOL1 risk variant G1 and variant G2, compared with the nonrisk G0 allele. However, the mechanism whereby these variants lead to disease manifestation and, in particular, whether this involves an intracellular or extracellular pool of APOL1 remains unclear. Herein, we show...
