Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A linkage has been detected between vitamin D receptor (VDR) locus and calcium kidney stone disease. In order to assess the eventual role of VDR gene start codon polymorphisms in stone production, we analyzed the genotype-phenotype association in a group of patients with calcium kidney stones. METHODS: One hundred and fifty-five patients were studied. VDR genotypes were characterized at the...
