APOL1 Gene Variants in African American Kidney Transplant Recipients
Impact of APOL1 Gene Variants in African American Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Study of Clinical Outcomes and Molecular Mechanisms

Aim 1:

Determine if there is an association between the APOL1 risk variants and allograft survival and function in African Americans

Aim 2:

Determine if there is an association between the presence of APOL1 risk variants in an African American kidney transplant recipient and the risk of recurrent disease

Aim 3:

Investigate mechanisms of APOL1 associated kidney disease by prospectively following African American kidney transplant recipients throughout their clinical course.

 
Observational
Observational Model: Cohort
Retention:   Samples With DNA
Description:

Aims 1 and 2:

Subjects will collect a saliva specimen in an Oragene®•DNA sample collection kit for genotyping. We will also collected any discarded (no longer utilized for clinical purposes) tissue from biopsies.

Aim 3:

Prior to transplant, subjects will collect saliva in an Oragene®•DNA sample collection kit for genotyping and 10cc of blood will be drawn into a Na heparin collection tube for APOL1 protein analysis. When applicable, plasmapheresis effluent will be collected. We will also collected any discarded (no longer utilized for clinical purposes)tissue from biopsies.
