Abstract excerpt
Albuminuria is associated with high-risk apolipoprotein-L1 variants (APOL1 G1/G2) in patients with sickle cell anemia (SCA). However, this gene variant does not account for all chronic kidney disease (CKD) risk. We hypothesized that we could develop a polygenic risk score (PRS) for CKD in SCA, combining APOL1 G1/G2 with other candidate genes that modify SCA severity and further stratify patients into risk...
