Title of Collaborative Activity: |
The APOL1 Long-term Kidney Transplantation Outcomes Network (APOLLO) Steering Committee Meetings |
Description of Collaborative Activity: |
The APOL1 Long-term Kidney Transplantation Outcomes Network (APOLLO) aims to prospectively assess the effects of renal-risk variants (RRVs) in the apolipoprotein L1 gene (APOL1) on outcomes for kidneys from donors with recent African ancestry and the recipients of their kidneys, after deceased- and living-donor renal transplantation. For the purposes of APOLLO, recent African ancestry is defined as individuals with similar genetic make-up to those currently residing in Africa. APOLLO will also study the impact of APOL1 RRVs on the health of living kidney donors with recent African ancestry. |
