Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cystine stone is a Mendelian genetic disease caused by SLC3A1 or SLC7A9. In this study, we aimed to estimate the genetic prevalence of cystine stones and compare it with the clinical prevalence to better understand the disease etiology. METHODS: We analyzed genetic variants in the general population using the 1000 Genomes project and the Human Gene Mutation Database to extract all SLC3A1 and SLC7A9...
