Abstract
HLA-DQA1 is a risk locus for SSNS, but not SRNS, in African American children, consistent with its role in SSNS risk in children of European, Asian, and African ancestries. There is little evidence of a significant role for the APOL1 high-risk alleles in childhood SSNS in African American children. Refinement of the HLA-DQA1 association identified the critical classic HLA antigen types and amino acids of the HLA-DQ α1 molecule.
