Abstract excerpt
A genome-wide association analysis study (GWAS) in the Japanese population identified 14 significant loci associated with nephrolithiasis. Besides 4 novel loci related to metabolic traits, the 10 remaining loci were associated with kidney or electrolyte-related traits. We aimed to replicate the association of these loci with calcium nephrolithiasis in the Chinese Han population. A case-control association...
