For APOL1 genetic testing to be applied in a manner that improves patient care and outcomes, more information is needed regarding associations of genotype with clinical parameters related to kidney health. Further, understanding patient perceptions about knowledge of the results of APOL1 genetic testing, and how that impacts patient engagement with management of hypertension and other renal risk factors, is urgently needed.\n\n* In a Phase 1 pilot study, we offered APOL1 genetic testing to Black patients seen in our Hypertension and Nephrology clinics at Saint Louis University, an academic medical center that serves the local urban community, and surveyed patients on attitudes and concerns about APOL1 genetic testing. 144 participants were enrolled in Phase 1.\n* In the Phase 2 study, we will advance this important work in our community by offering participation to a broader patient base, including patients seen in Internal and Family Medicine clinics, SLU Hospital, as well as to first-degree relatives and spouses of SLUCare participants. This expansion seeks to advance understanding of environment-gene interactions, improve risk prediction, and target management of potentially modifiable risk factors.",[74,75,76,77,78],"Genetic Predisposition","Chronic Kidney Diseases","Nephropathy","APOL1 Associated Kidney Disease","Disparities",[80],"APOL1 Renal Risk Variants","2025-03-17",{"date":83,"type":84},"2025-03-20","ACTUAL",{"date":86,"type":84},"2019-01-24",{"date":88,"type":70},"2027-06-30",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
