Transplant programs can use these results to inform their APOL1 testing policies and practices.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Limitations<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Most participants who were told and remembered their APOL1 status had a lower\u2010risk genotype; people with higher\u2010risk genotypes might hold different views. We were unable to verify self\u2010reported APOL1 results. All participants were enrolled in the APOLLO study and were willing to be re\u2010contacted to participate in research.

The experiences, beliefs, and preferences of living kidney donors who have undergone APOL1 testing can provide valuable insights for transplant programs to consider when developing APOL1 testing policies. We interviewed 31 self\u2010identified Black people who had APOL1 testing and were evaluated to be living kidney donors. We found that (1) they often wanted more information than they recieved; (2) many people think that potential donors should help to decide whether to get tested and how to use their results; (3) some people believe that potential kidney recipients should have access to their donor's APOL1 results; and (4) using race as the basis for testing raises concerns. We identify some implications our findings may have for transplant programs as they develop their APOL1 testing policies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ctr.70482","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,15]],"date-time":"2026-02-15T17:33:06Z","timestamp":1771176786000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Insights From Black Living Kidney Donors: An Interview Study on APOL1 Genetic Testing Experiences"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"40","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0624-3022","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana S.","family":"Iltis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center For Bioethics Health and Society and Department of Philosophy Wake Forest University  Winston\u2010Salem North Carolina USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9447-6496","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Heidi A.","family":"Walsh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bioethics Research Center Division of General Medicine and Geriatrics John T.
