First seen Jan 03, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study looks at how a gene called APOL1 affects kidney transplant success. African Americans and others with recent African ancestry are more likely to have a risky version of this gene. Researchers will test DNA from 5000 donors and recipients to see if the gene leads to kidney failure after transplant. The goal is to make transplants safer and improve long-term outcomes.
