Association between Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphism and Nephrolithiasis
1 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To study the distribution of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene alleles in hypercalciuric and nonhypercalciuric nephrolithiasis patients, hypothesizing that distinct biochemical parameters would be associated with different VDR genotypes. METHODS: 12 hypercalciuric, 15 normocalciuric nephrolithiasis patients, and 150 healthy subjects were recruited. The individual genetic pattern for VDR was evaluated by DNA...
