APOL1 Risk Variants Independently Associated With Early Cardiovascular Disease Death
Introduction The relationship of APOL1 renal risk variants to cardiovascular disease (CVD) is controversial and was the subject of this investigation. Methods Age, cause of death, and nephrosclerosis (the latter defined by glomerulosclerosis) were analyzed in the autopsies of 162 African Americans and 136 whites genotyped for APOL1 risk alleles. Results Sudden deaths represented >75% of CVD...
متن کاملEffect of APOL1 disease risk variants on APOL1 gene product
Gene sequence mutations may alter mRNA transcription, transcript stability, protein translation, protein stability and protein folding. Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) has two sets of sequence variants that are risk factors for kidney disease development, APOL1G1 (substitution mutation) and APOL1G2 (deletion mutation). Our present study focuses on the impact of these variants on APOL1 mRNA transcript...
متن کاملNo evidence for association with APOL1 kidney disease risk
27 Background: Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) manifests as an acute form caused by 28 Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (Tbr) and a chronic form caused by Trypanosoma brucei 29 gambiense (Tbg). Previous studies have suggested a host genetic role in infection outcomes, 30 particularly for APOL1. We have undertaken a candidate gene association studies (CGAS) in 31 a Ugandan Tbr and a Tbg HAT en...
متن کاملSequencing rare and common APOL1 coding variants to determine kidney disease risk
A third of African Americans with sporadic focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) or HIV-associated nephropathy (HIVAN) do not carry APOL1 renal risk genotypes. This raises the possibility that other APOL1 variants may contribute to kidney disease. To address this question, we sequenced all APOL1 exons in 1437 Americans of African and European descent, including 464 patients with biopsy-prov...
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...
