Common and rare variants associated with kidney stones and biochemical traits
Kidney stone disease is a complex disorder with a strong genetic component. We conducted a genome-wide association study of 28.3 million sequence variants detected through whole-genome sequencing of 2,636 Icelanders that were imputed into 5,419 kidney stone cases, including 2,172 cases with a history of recurrent kidney stones, and 279,870 controls. We identify sequence variants associating wit...
متن کاملRare and low-frequency variants in human common diseases and other complex traits.
In humans, most of the genetic variation is rare and often population-specific. Whereas the role of rare genetic variants in familial monogenic diseases is firmly established, we are only now starting to explore the contribution of this class of genetic variation to human common diseases and other complex traits. Such large-scale experiments are possible due to the development of next-generatio...
متن کاملBilateral kidney matrix stones: a rare case
Kedney matrix stones are a rare form of calculi. Flank pain and urinary tract infections (UTI) are the most common presentations of matrix calculi. The diagnosis is usually made at surgery, but some preoperative radiographic findings might be suggestive. Open surgery was the method of choice for treatment. However, combination of ureterorenoscopy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) was foun...
متن کاملCommon Disease, Multiple Rare (and Distant) Variants
Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have emerged as a potentially powerful tool for discovery of new genes for common diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and stroke. But the common interpretation of GWA findings might be incorrect in many cases, according to a new study by Samuel Dickson, David Goldstein, and colleagues in this issue of PLoS Biology. Their results suggest that the signals i...
متن کاملCommon and rare variants in alcohol dependence.
c h a b c M any lines of evidence converge to show that genetics makes a substantial contribution to the risk for alcohol dependence, explaining about 60% of the variance. However, alcohol dependence is not a Mendelian trait with a simple pattern of inheritance, nor is it deterministic. It is a complex trait like most psychiatric diseases and other common diseases, with both genetic and environ...
