Our cost-effective and rapid qPCR technique facilitates APOL1 genotyping within hours. Prospective and retrospective studies will enable comparisons with long-term allograft rejection, potentially predicting early/late-stage transplant outcomes based on haplotype evaluation in this diverse group of kidney transplant recipients.
