Abstract excerpt
Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) is a rare genetic kidney disease caused by a deficiency of alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGT). Genetic heterogeneity of the AGT gene cannot fully account for heterogeneity in the clinical phenotype. This study investigates a possible contribution to the clinical phenotype from SNPs in RET or PAX2 genes associated with reduced nephron number. The frequencies of these SNPs...
