Abstract

Recent studies have identified genetic variants in APOL1 that may contribute to the increased incidence of kidney disease in populations with African ancestry. Here, we review the biology of APOL1 present in the circulation and localized to the kidney as it may contribute to the pathogenesis of APOL1-associated kidney disease.
