Frequency of rare allelic variation in candidate genes among individuals with low and high urinary calcium excretion.

Our study investigated the association of rare allelic variants with extremes of 24-hour urinary calcium excretion because higher urinary calcium excretion is a dominant risk factor for calcium-based kidney stone formation. We resequenced 40 candidate genes potentially related to urinary calcium exc...
