Abstract excerpt
Cystine stones are caused by pathogenic variants in SLC3A1 or SLC7A9. Our prior study revealed a large gap between genetic and clinical prevalence. With increasing discovery of novel variants, we aim to assess how these impact genetic prevalence estimates. Due to the disease rarity, direct patient recruitment and observation is impractical. We applied a population genetics approach to estimate genetic burden and...
