<i>HBA</i>Copy Number and Kidney Disease Risk among Black Americans: a Longitudinal Cohort Study

2021-04-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Alpha globin gene ( HBA) copy number is variable among people of African descent. HBA limits endothelial nitric oxide signaling and variation in gene copy number could modify kidney disease risk in this population. <h4>Objective</h4> To examine the association of HBA copy number with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). We hypothesized that higher...
