Abstract excerpt
Cystinuria is a complex genetic disorder. In the present study, we report on the strict linkage disequilibrium of SLC7A9 mutations with the wild type SLC7A9 haplotype of 15 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and their effect on cystinuria manifestation and classification. Specifically, screening for mutations and polymorphisms was performed in the family members of ten cystinuric patients with SLC7A9 gene...
