}}The derived allele of indel [[rs71785313]] (p.NYK388K) defines the APOL1 G2 allele. This allele has been shown to associate with kidney disease while conferring protection against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense. {{doi|10.1126/science.1193032}}

Nearby variant [[rs12106505]] is almost a complete proxy (r2>95%), so it can be used as an alternative for genotyping, especially in cases where the technology does not work well with indels.
