Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a common childhood problem, causing renal wounds and escalating the risk of renal deficiency and hypertension. A vast literature exists suggesting that genetic variations play a significant role in the pathogenesis of VUR. The aim of the present study was to estimate whether genetic polymorphisms of IL-19 (GC rs2243158, AT rs2243158) and IL-20 (AG rs2981573, TG...
