The atherosclerosis prevalence was 6.4% in APOL1-G0/G0 individuals (serving as reference), 6.1% in APOL1-G0/G1 individuals (odds ratio 0.95 [0.87–1.04], P=0.25), and 7.4% in APOL1-G1/G1 individuals (odds ratio 1.17 [1.00–1.36], P=0.048) (Supplementary Figure S6A). This evidence concerns the gene APOL1 and atherosclerosis.
