Multi-ethnic polygenic risk modifies the association between <i>APOL1</i> high risk genotypes and chronic kidney disease
2021-11-14
Abstract excerpt
The burden of advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) falls disproportionately on minorities including African Americans (AAs) and Hispanic Americans (HAs) with admixed ancestry. Even though APOL1 high-risk genotypes increase risk of kidney disease, their penetrance is incomplete, indicating that the modification of APOL1 high risk may be polygenic. For this study, we used three multi-ethnic cohorts with APOL1 high...
