The effects of nephropathy risk variants in the apolipoprotein L1 gene (APOL1) on renal histopathology in African Americans with arterionephrosclerosis or putative 'hypertension-associated' nephropathy are unknown. APOL1 genotype-phenotype correlations were performed in a blinded manner from renal biopsies in 196 self-reported African Americans with arterionephrosclerosis on kidney biopsy at a large national nephropathology practice. Subjects had chronic kidney disease without nephrotic syndrome. A discovery analysis compared histopathologic changes in the glomerular and tubulointerstitial compartments in 58 subjects with 2 versus 56 subjects with 0 APOL1 risk variants. Validation was performed in biopsies from 82 additional subjects with 0, 1, and 2 risk variants. Two risk variant versus zero risk variant group genotype associations and subphenotypes were assessed by chi(2) analyses. ANOVA compared means of continuous variables. In discovery analyses, significantly less obsolescent glomerulosclerosis, more (solidified and disappearing) glomerulosclerosis, more thyroidization-type tubular atrophy, and more microcystic tubular dilatation were seen in patients with two versus zero APOL1 risk alleles. Greater degrees of arteriosclerosis were present in those with zero risk alleles. Segmental glomerulosclerosis did not differ significantly between groups. Presence of two of the following discriminatory histopathologic findings from discovery, that is,
