Abstract
Albuminuria predicts kidney disease progression in individuals with sickle cell anaemia (SCA); however, earlier prediction of kidney disease with introduction of reno-protective therapies prior to the onset of albuminuria may attenuate disease progression. A genetic risk score (GRS) for SCA-related nephropathy may provide an improved one-time test for early identification of high-risk patients. We utilized a GRS from a recent, large, trans-ethnic meta-analysis to identify three single nucleotide polymorphisms that associate individually and in a GRS with time to first albuminuria episode in children with SCA.Entities:
