No Association of Vitamin D Receptor Gene <i>Bsm</i> I Polymorphisms with Calcium Oxalate Stone Formation

Abstract

The results revealed no significant difference between normal individuals and stone patients (P = 0.891). The allelic distribution of B and b were similar within both the normal group and the stone patients. Therefore, the BsmI polymorphism of the VDR gene at intron 8 is not a suitable genetic marker for urinary stone disease.
