Genetic variants predisposing to an increased risk of kidney stone disease
15 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUNDKidney stone disease (KSD) affects approximately 10% of adults, is heritable, and is associated with mineral metabolic abnormalities.METHODSGenetic variants and pathways increasing KSD risk via calcium and phosphate homeostasis were ascertained using GWAS, region-specific Mendelian randomization (MR), and genetic colocalization. The utility of pathway modulation was estimated via drug target MR, and the...
