Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Increased synthesis of several urinary proteins including osteopontin (OPN) has been shown to be associated with stone formation within the urinary tract. The objective of this study was to analyze the genotype distributions and allele frequencies for OPN gene promoter T-593A and C6982T (in exon 7) polymorphisms among patients with kidney stones. METHODS: In this case-control study, the study...
