Genetic variants of calcium and vitamin D metabolism in kidney stone disease

Genetic variants of calcium and vitamin D metabolism in kidney stone disease

Kidney stones form in the presence of overabundance of crystal-forming substances such as Ca2+ and oxalate. Here, the authors report genome-wide association analyses for kidney stone disease, report seven previously unknown loci and find that some of these loci also associate with Ca2+ concentration...
