Variation in APOL1 Contributes to Ancestry-Level Differences in HDLc-Kidney Function Association
Low levels of high-density cholesterol (HDLc) accompany chronic kidney disease, but the association between HDLc and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in the general population is unclear. We investigated the HDLc-eGFR association in nondiabetic Han Chinese (HC, n = 1100), West Africans (WA, n = 1497), and African Americans (AA, n = 1539). There were significant differences by anc...
متن کاملAssociation of trypanolytic ApoL1 variants with kidney disease in African Americans.
African Americans have higher rates of kidney disease than European Americans. Here, we show that, in African Americans, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and hypertension-attributed end-stage kidney disease (H-ESKD) are associated with two independent sequence variants in the APOL1 gene on chromosome 22 {FSGS odds ratio = 10.5 [95% confidence interval (CI) 6.0 to 18.4]; H-ESKD odds rat...
متن کاملApolipoprotein E genotype modifies the association between midlife lung function and cognitive function in old age.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Because poor lung function may be a risk factor for cognitive decline, we aimed to test the association of respiratory function with cognitive function and dementia later in life, as well as potential effect modification by APOE epsilon4 carrier status. METHODS In a prospective population-based cohort study, forced vital capacity and forced expiratory flow were measured around...
متن کاملAssociation was not observed between plasma APOL1 concentrations and APOL1 genotype in African Americans with treated HIV infection; plasma APOL1 levels also did not associate with the risk of HIV-associated nephropathy
This article is available online at http://www.jlr.org G1 and G2 renal-risk variants on chromosome 22q13.1 ( 1–3 ). Although APOL1 mRNA and APOL1 protein are present in human kidney ( 4, 5 ), the major APOL1 reservoir appears to be circulating protein ( 5, 6 ). APOL1 was initially discovered as a minor apolipoprotein of plasma HDLs ( 6 ); however, its distribution among HDL subfractions has not...
متن کاملLack of Association of the APOL1 G3 Haplotype in African Americans with ESRD.
Apolipoprotein L1 gene (APOL1) G1 and G2 variants are strongly associated with progressive nondiabetic nephropathy in populations with recent African ancestry. Selection for these variants occurred as a result of protection from human African trypanosomiasis (HAT). Resequencing of this region in 10 genetically and geographically distinct African populations residing in HAT endemic regions ident...
