Long-Term Survival after Kidney Transplantation This review discusses demographics,
survival, and risks in kidney transplantation since the mid-1990s. It addresses postoperative …

Genetic coding variants in APOL1, which encodes apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1), were
identified in 2010 and are relatively common among individuals of sub-Saharan African …

Rates of many types of severe kidney disease are much higher in Black individuals than
most other ethnic groups. Much of this disparity can now be attributed to genetic variants in …

The lack of representation of diverse ancestral backgrounds in genomic research is well-
known, and the resultant scientific and ethical limitations are becoming increasingly …

The growing accessibility and falling costs of genetic sequencing techniques has expanded
the utilization of genetic testing in clinical practice. For living kidney donation, genetic …

Introduction Much of the higher risk for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in African
American individuals relates to ancestry-specific variation in the apolipoprotein L1 gene …

Globally, chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents an important non-communicable disease
with significant morbidity and mortality. An estimated 10% of the world's population had CKD …

Genetic variants in the APOL1 gene, found only in individuals of recent African ancestry,
greatly increase risk of multiple types of kidney disease. These APOL1 kidney risk alleles …

Recent advances in surgical, immunosuppressive and monitoring protocols have led to the
significant improvement of overall one-year kidney allograft outcomes. Nonetheless, there …

Abstract Background People of Sub-Saharan African ancestry are at higher risk of
developing chronic kidney disease (CKD), attributed to the Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) gene …
