Exclusion mapping of major crystallization inhibitors in idiopathic calcium urolithiasis.

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: We determined whether genetic variation at 3 loci coding for putative crystallization inhibitors is linked to calcium urolithiasis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We studied a cohort of 64 French-Canadian sibships including multiple recurrent calcium stone formers, comprising 154 independent pairs of siblings with at least 1 stone episode. Physical and meiotic mapping of the genes coding for osteopontin and...
