BACKGROUND: Many genes and loci have been reported in genetic studies of primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), but few have been reproduced in independent cohorts, perhaps because of phenotype heterogeneity. We phenotyped children with VUR who attended urology clinics so we could establish criteria to stratify patients based on the presence or absence of a renal malformation. METHODS: History, chart review, and...
