Genetic susceptibility to kidney stone disease: unveiling pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract excerpt

Kidney stone disease (KSD) arises from a complex interplay of genetic predisposition, diet, metabolic disorders, and other environmental factors. In this issue of the JCI, Lovegrove et al. report a large GWAS that identifies 71 loci associated with an increased risk of KSD. Through an integrative approach combining Mendelian randomization and functional validation, they emphasize the roles of DGKD, SLC34A1, and...
