Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Calcium-sensing receptor gene (CaSR) is a candidate to explain susceptibility to calcium kidney stones. Thus, we studied CaSR gene single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes associated with stones. METHODS: Four hundred and sixty-three calcium stone formers and 213 healthy controls were genotyped for 21 SNPs mapping the whole CaSR gene. CaSR gene structure was studied. SNPs and haplotypes...
