Abstract excerpt
Cystinuria represents 3% of nephrolithiasis in humans with an overall prevalence of 1 in 7,000 neonates. Two genes have been reported to account for the genetic basis of cystinuria, the SLC3A1 and the SLC7A9. Recently, the possible involvement of the SLC7A10 gene in the genetic basis of the disorder was also reported. In the present study, we found a total of 15 mutations in 20 Greek cystinuric patients. Eight...
