Genetic variants of calcium and vitamin D metabolism in kidney stone disease
Kidney stone disease (nephrolithiasis) is a major clinical and economic health burden with a heritability of ~45–60%. We present genome-wide association studies in British and Japanese populations and a trans-ethnic meta-analysis that include 12,123 cases and 417,378 controls, and identify 20 nephro...

| Zusammenfassung: | Kidney stone disease (nephrolithiasis) is a major clinical and economic health burden with a heritability of ~45–60%. We present genome-wide association studies in British and Japanese populations and a trans-ethnic meta-analysis that include 12,123 cases and 417,378 controls, and identify 20 nephrolithiasis-associated loci, seven of which are previously unreported. A
CYP24A1
locus is predicted to affect vitamin D metabolism and five loci,
DGKD, DGKH, WDR72, GPIC1
, and
BCR
, are predicted to influence calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) signaling. In a validation cohort of only nephrolithiasis patients, the
CYP24A1-
associated locus correlates with serum calcium concentration and a number of nephrolithiasis episodes while the
DGKD-
associated locus correlates with urinary calcium excretion. In vitro, DGKD knockdown impairs CaSR-signal transduction, an effect rectified with the calcimimetic cinacalcet. Our findings indicate that studies of genotype-guided precision-medicine approaches, including withholding vitamin D supplementation and targeting vitamin D activation or CaSR-signaling pathways in patients with recurrent kidney stones, are warranted.
Kidney stones form in the presence of overabundance of crystal-forming substances such as Ca
2+
and oxalate. Here, the authors report genome-wide association analyses for kidney stone disease, report seven previously unknown loci and find that some of these loci also associate with Ca
2+
concentration and excretion. |
