APOL1 variant-expressing endothelial cells exhibit autophagic dysfunction and mitochondrial stress
27 Sept 2022
Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms in the Apolipoprotein L1 ( APOL1 ) gene are common in ancestrally African populations, and associate with kidney injury and cardiovascular disease. These risk variants (RV) provide an advantage in resisting Trypanosoma brucei , the causal agent of African trypanosomiasis, and are largely absent from non-African genomes. Clinical associations between the APOL1 high risk genotype (HRG) and disease are...
