Abstract excerpt
Urolithiasis is a complex disease influenced by genetic and metabolic factors. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified susceptibility loci, the causal genes and mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to identify genes whose genetically regulated expression contributes to urolithiasis risk and clarify their potential biological roles. We integrated two independent European-ancestry...
