Abstract

Purpose

To evaluate the association between vitamin D receptor (VDRs) and calcium-sensitive receptor (CaSR) gene polymorphisms and calcium-containing kidney stones (CCKS) in Dai populations.

Methods

A total of 160 CCKS patients and 87 healthy controls were included in this study. CCKS was confirmed using urological computed tomography (CT), plain abdominal radiograph, or surgical lithotomy. Stone samples obtained during surgery were analyzed using infrared spectroscopy. Venous blood and 24-h urine samples were collected and analyzed using Sanger sequencing and high-performance liquid chromatography, respectively. Genetic variants in the VDR gene (rs7975232, rs2228570, rs731236, and rs1544410) and CaSR gene (rs7652589, rs1801725, and rs1042636) were identified through sequence analysis.

Results

Analysis of genotype and allele frequencies revealed that the rs7975232 polymorphism in the VDR gene and the rs7652589 allele in the CaSR gene were significantly associated with CCKS. Furthermore, patients carrying the AC and AA genotypes of rs7975232 showed a higher incidence of hypocitraturia compared to those with other genotypes (p < 0.05). The AA and GG genotypes of rs1042636 and the AA genotype of rs7652589 were significantly associated with hypercalciuria (p < 0.05).

Conclusion

CCKS in this study population may be closely related to hypocitraturia caused by the VDR locus rs7975232 polymorphism and hypercalciuria caused by the CaSR locus rs1042636 and rs7652589 polymorphism.
