ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Kidney transplant survival in African American recipients is lower compared with non-African American transplant recipients. APOL1 risk alleles (RA) have been postulated as likely contributors. We examined the graft outcomes in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) stratified by APOL1 RA status in a multicenter observational prospective study.METHODS:
The Renal Transplant Outcome Study recruited a cohort of incident KTRs at 3 transplant centers in the Philadelphia area from 1999-2004. KTRs were genotyped for APOL1 RA. Allograft and patient survival rates were compared by the presence and number of APOL1 RA.RESULTS:
Among 221 participants, approximately 43% carried 2 APOL1 RA. Recipients carrying 2 APOL1 RA demonstrated lower graft survival compared with recipients with only 1 or none of APOL1 RA at 1 y posttransplant, independently of other donor and recipient characteristics (adjusted hazard ratio 3.2 [95% confidence interval, 1.0-10.4], P = 0.05). There was no significant difference in overall survival or graft survival after 3 y posttransplantation. There was no difference in death by APOL1 -risk status ( P = 0.11).CONCLUSIONS:
Recipients with 2 APOL1 high-risk alleles exhibited lower graft survival 1 y posttransplantation compared with recipients with only 1 or 0 APOL1 RA. Further research is required to study the combined role of the recipient and donor APOL1 genotypes in kidney transplantation.
