Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the calcium-sensing receptor (CASR) gene at the regulatory region were associated with idiopathic calcium nephrolithiasis. To confirm their association with nephrolithiasis, we tested patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). DESIGN: A genotype-phenotype association study. METHODS: In all, 332 PHPT patients and 453 healthy controls were...
