Gene hunt: unlocking kidney disease secrets in guadeloupe
NCT ID NCT07288723
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether certain gene variants (APOL1) are linked to advanced chronic kidney disease (stage 4) in Afro-Caribbean adults living in Guadeloupe. Researchers analyzed blood samples from 88 participants to find how common these gene variants are. The goal was to better understand the role of genetics in kidney disease, not to test a new treatment.
