First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study aims to find genetic markers that may increase the risk of developing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a kidney disease that can lead to kidney failure. Researchers will compare DNA from 616 people, including African-Americans with FSGS, African-Americans with HIV but no FSGS, and non-African-Americans with FSGS. The goal is to understand why FSGS is more common in certain groups and to pave the way for earlier detection and better treatments.
