Polymorphisms of the VDR gene in patients with nephrolithiasis in a Han Chinese population.

Abstract excerpt

An association study between VDR gene polymorphisms and nephrolithiasis was conducted in different populations, but it is not yet known whether the association exists in the Han Chinese population. Here, we genotyped three SNPs (rs731236, rs7975232 and rs10735810) in the promoter region of the VDR gene by iMLDR genotyping assays in a large case-control cohort. The results demonstrated that there was no...
