BACKGROUND: Calcium urolithiasis is in part genetically determined and associated with idiopathic hypercalciuria. METHODS: We have used a candidate gene approach to determine whether the calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) gene is linked to idiopathic hypercalciuria and calcium urolithiasis in a cohort of French Canadian sibships with multiple affected members (64 sibships from 55 pedigrees yielding 359 affected...
