Abstract excerpt
Introduction: Approximately 80% of primary hyperoxaluria cases are caused by primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1, OMIM# 259900), which is characterized by pathogenic variants in the AGXT gene, resulting in deficiency of the liver-specific enzyme alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGT). This leads to increased production of oxalate, which cannot be effectively eliminated from the body, resulting in its...
