First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study searched for genetic factors that may cause focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a kidney disease that can lead to kidney failure. Researchers compared DNA from 616 people, including African-Americans with FSGS, African-Americans with HIV but no FSGS, and non-African-Americans with FSGS. The goal was to find genes that increase risk, which could lead to earlier detection and better treatments in the future.
