….the findings of Gutierrez et al. (22) add more fuel to the ongoing controversy regarding the association of APOL1 G1/G2 risk status with cardiovascular outcome among African Americans. However, if we acknowledge that the APOL1 risk alleles may directly modify the circulating levels of small HDL and/or other factors and induce a proatherogenic state that precipitates CKD and cardiovascular complications, then we should begin to answer several questions ….
古铁雷斯等人（22）的研究结果，为非裔美国人中载脂蛋白L1（APOL1）G1/G2风险状态与心血管结局之间关联的持续争议增添了更多的论据。然而，如果我们承认APOL1风险等位基因可能直接改变小高密度脂蛋白（HDL）的循环水平和/或其他因素，并诱发促动脉粥样硬化状态，进而引发慢性肾脏病（CKD）和心血管并发症，那么我们就应该开始回答几个问题……
