Our updated APOL1 manuscript just went live on #bioRxiv – perfectly timed with #APOL1AwarenessDay (April 29). We've sharpened our hypothesis and focused the supporting evidence for a clearer story.

CHAC1 emerging as #KidneyDisease #RiskGene with a central role of modulating tubule cell glutathione and #Ferroptosis doi.org/10.1126/scit... @ksusztak.bsky.social‬ #DrugDevelopmentOption #TranslationalScience
Glutathione-specific gamma–glutamylcyclotransferase 1 (CHAC1) increases kidney disease risk by modulating ferroptosis
CHAC1 is a kidney disease risk gene, and removal of one copy of Chac1 protects mice from kidney disease by controlling glutathione and ferroptosis.
