Abstract excerpt
The pathophysiology and genetic risk for sickle cell disease (SCD)-related chronic kidney disease (CKD) are not well understood. In 70 adults with SCD-related CKD and without APOL1 inherited in a high-risk pattern, 24 (34%) had pathogenic variants in candidate genes using KidneySeq™. A moderate impact INF2 variant was observed in 20 (29%) patients and those with 3 versus 0-2 pathogenic or moderate impact...
