Mapping a new suggestive gene locus for autosomal dominant nephrolithiasis to chromosome 9q33.2–q34.2 by total genome search for linkage

Abstract

We here identified a new suggestive gene locus (NPL1) for autosomal dominant nephrolithiasis. It is localized on chromosome 9q33.2-q34.2. The identification of the responsible gene will provide new insights into the molecular basis of nephrolithiasis.
