Homozygous frequency map for mutations in the APOL1 gene in Africa. In Ethiopia (as well as in populations outside Africa) the frequency of homozygotes is zero, while in West Africa the frequency is high. It should be noted that in West Africa the rate of carriers of at least one mutant allele (homozygotes and heterozygotes) is over 70%
