Genomic Medicine Pilot for Hypertension and Kidney Disease in Primary Care
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Immediate Genetic Testing for Hypertension and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 2,052 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
In this genomic medicine implementation pilot project, the investigators aim to conduct a randomized trial in a network of community health centers and primary care facilities to study processes, effects and challenges of incorporating information for apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1)-attributable genetic risk for end stage kidney disease in patients of African ancestry with hypertension .
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Participants will receive the APOL1 genetic test. Trained research staff will meet with participants to communicate results and lifetime ESRD risk attributable to variations in the APOL1 gene. Primary care providers will receive APOL1 genetic risk information via a best practice alert in the participant's EMR upon commencement of a patient encounter and through results filed in the participant's genetics results section of their EMR.
