Association of urokinase and Vitamin D receptor genes SNPs and urolithiasis in an Iraqi population

ConclusionThere was a significant association between urokinase gene 3’-UTR TT (rs4065) and VDR genes (rs731236) polymorphisms urolithiasis. In addition, VDR CC genotype was significantly associated with recurrent urolithiasis. However, more in-depth verifications will be helpful towards disclosure of genetic mutations predisposing first-time and recurrent urolithiasis.
