Özet
Objective: Urolithiasis has a strong familial component. However, to date, no specific genetic abnormality has been identified. It has been reported that allelic variation in the vitamin D receptor ( VDR) gene may affect calcium absorption and excretion. Urolithiasis is a multifactorial disease in which both genetic and environmental factors have an effect on onset and severity of disease. In the present study, the role of Taq I polymorphism of vitamin D receptor gene in urolithiasis was studied.
