Table 5.

Association of risk indicators of chronic kidney disease with number of APOL1 risk variants, compared to 0 variants, adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, diabetes, hypertension, Townsend deprivation index, and genetic principal components 1–4.

Genotype n (total) uACR > 3 mg/mmol or eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73m2
uACR > 3 mg/mmol
eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73m2
Odds ratio (95% CI) p Odds ratio (95% CI) p Odds ratio (95% CI) p
0 variants 2853 1.0 (ref) 1.0 (ref) 1.0 (ref)
1 variant 3492 1.1 (0.9–1.3) 0.52 1.1 (0.9–1.4) 0.18 0.9 (0.7–1.3) 0.69
2 variants 1117 1.4 (1.1–1.8) 0.002 1.5 (1.22.0) 0.001 1.4 (1.0–2.0) 0.05

Genotypes with p values < 0.05 are shown in bold. Carriage of two APOL1 risk variants was associated with having chronic kidney disease risk indicators, consistent with previous studies.2 The numbers and percentages are shown in Supplementary Table S7.
