“…In contrast, when it comes to the physiological loss of renal function with the advance of age, the female gender has shown to offer greater protection, which is explained by gender hormones and nitric oxide regulation, and consequent less reduction of renal aging [39]. As for race, in the United States of America, it is observed that African Americans present higher rates of renal diseases when compared to the other races [40]. However, in Brazil, relating race to renal function may not be prudent because there is a great racial miscegenation inherent in the national historical-cultural factor.…”

“…Similar to the AMD example, in a PAGE I EAGLE substudy, none of the tested MYH9 variants were associated with chronic kidney disease in non-Hispanic Blacks (73). Furthermore, none of the MYH9 variants showed consistent direction of effect across the three groups tested, which included non-Hispanic Whites, non-Hispanic Blacks, and Mexican Americans (73). The lack of associations was surprising given that the MYH9 variants are in strong linkage disequilibrium with APOL1 variants (77), both of which have been strongly associated with kidney diseases in African-descent participants but not European-descent participants (78).…”

“…The inability to generalize or replicate GWAS-identified variants from European-descent populations was a theme of PAGE I. Similar to the AMD example, in a PAGE I EAGLE substudy, none of the tested MYH9 variants were associated with chronic kidney disease in non-Hispanic Blacks (73). Furthermore, none of the MYH9 variants showed consistent direction of effect across the three groups tested, which included non-Hispanic Whites, non-Hispanic Blacks, and Mexican Americans (73).…”
