A new study by the H3 Africa Kidney Research Network found that APOL1 variants are a major risk factor for chronic kidney disease. Additionally, these variants are particularly prevalent among West Africans. Dr. Rasheed Gbadegesin dives into these findings and explains how they could contribute to preventive measures and improved outcomes in patients of African ancestry. Dr. Gbadegesin is the Director of the Office of Physician-Scientist Development at Duke University School of Medicine.
