Your test result typically includes a reference range for what the laboratory considers normal eGFR levels. For eGFR based on creatinine levels, many laboratories list separate reference ranges for African Americans and non-African Americans because some prior studies have found varying eGFR levels among...

The aim of this study, grounded in Asset Based Community developing plus the Model of youngsters’ Health and its Influences, would be to identify and comprehend these aspects through the lens of parents residing predominantly African-American low-income communities within Washington, DC. An ...
Younger patients or African-American women are most vulnerable to TNBC.1 TNBC lacks estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) overexpression and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) amplification.2–4 TNBC is typically associated with a large size, higher g...
The study of African American (AA) and European American women found 59 differently expressed genes, while another study found differences of multiple positive and negative genes between black and white women [15,16]. To our knowledge, no such studies were performed with CMTs, except an ...
We did not find a statistically significant difference in PFS and OS between African American and non-African American patients but, nevertheless, further investigation on racial disparities and survival outcomes in this new TKI era are warranted. Prior studies have looked solely at pretreatment NLR ...
According to research, certain ethnicities are more susceptible to EGFR mutations. People of Asian descent who developnon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)are almost 47% more likely to have the mutation. Among those of Middle-Eastern or African descent, the estimate is approximately 21%, while thos...
Among whites we used 1000 Genomes precomputed LD Scores and for non-Hispanic blacks we calculated LD Scores in 2217 African American participants from BioVU using Illumina Mega Array (Illumina, Inc) genotype data imputed to 1000 Genomes phase 3 haplotypes. Calculation of the intercept in the MVP...
1A,B; log-rank test, p = 0.069 and p = 0.015, respectively). When only the 43 patients with EGFR active mutations were considered, both DFS and OS were found to be significantly longer than for patients with wildtype EGFR or EGFR non-active mutations (Fig. 1C,D; log-rank ...
At our institution, we are starting a registry for our patients looking at molecular markers. We serve a mainly underserved population. It’s an inner-city population, and we have a lot of African American patients, the vast majority of which we don’t see a lot in these trials. The ADA...
