Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cystinuria is an autosomal recessive disease that is manifested by kidney stones and is caused by mutations in two genes: SLC3AI on chromosome 2p and SLC7A9 on chromosome 19q. Urinary cystine levels in obligate carriers are often, but not always, helpful in identifying the causative gene. OBJECTIVES: To characterize the clinical features and analyze the genetic basis of cystinuria in an inbred Moslem...
