Primary Hyperparathyroidism and the Presence of Kidney Stones Are Associated with Different Haplotypes of the Calcium-Sensing Receptor
4 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Three single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the calcium-sensing receptor gene (CASR) encoding the missense substitutions A986S, R990G, and Q1011E have been associated with normal variation in extracellular calcium homeostasis, both individually and in haplotype combination. The aim of this study was to examine haplotype associations in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients...
