    • APOL1-G0 or APOL1-G2 Transgenic Models Develop Preeclampsia but Not Kidney Disease. 

      Bruggeman, Leslie A; Wu, Zhenzhen; Luo, Liping; Madhavan, Sethu M; Konieczkowski, Martha; Drawz, Paul E; Thomas, David B; ... (10 authors) (Journal of the American Society of Nephrology : JASN, 2016-12)
      APOL1 risk variants are associated with kidney disease in blacks, but the mechanisms of renal injury associated with APOL1 risk variants are unknown. Because APOL1 is unique to humans and some primates, we created transgenic ...

    • APOL1-G0 protects podocytes in a mouse model of HIV-associated nephropathy. 

      Bruggeman, Leslie A; Wu, Zhenzhen; Luo, Liping; Madhavan, Sethu; Drawz, Paul E; Thomas, David B; Barisoni, Laura; ... (9 authors) (PloS one, 2019-01)
      African polymorphisms in the gene for Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) confer a survival advantage against lethal trypanosomiasis but also an increased risk for several chronic kidney diseases (CKD) including HIV-associated nephropathy ...

    • In vivo Modeling Implicates APOL1 in Nephropathy: Evidence for Dominant Negative Effects and Epistasis under Anemic Stress. 

      Anderson, Blair R; Howell, David N; Soldano, Karen; Garrett, Melanie E; Katsanis, Nicholas; Telen, Marilyn J; Davis, Erica E; ... (8 authors) (PLoS Genet, 2015-07)
      African Americans have a disproportionate risk for developing nephropathy. This disparity has been attributed to coding variants (G1 and G2) in apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1); however, there is little functional evidence supporting ...
