Abstract

Background: Due to the lack of research on pediatric urolithiasis (PU) in Iran, this case-control study aimed to assess the correlation of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms in the Iranian population living in Kerman, Iran. Methods: This study was conducted on 90 outpatients with urinary calculi (49 female and 41 male subjects with a mean age of 4.55 ± 3.005 years) and 90 healthy children (39 female and 51 male subjects with a mean age of 5.6 ± 3.67 years) without a history of urolithiasis as the control group. Deoxyribonucleic acid was extracted from the blood samples of all patients and healthy subjects, and TaqI genotyping was performed via the restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Results: TaqI single-nucleotide polymorphisms (rs731236) were shown to be associated with a higher incidence of PU. Multivariable logistic regression analysis demonstrated that carriers with the C allele of TaqIrs731236 had a considerably higher risk of PU than the control group (odds ratio = 1.94; 95% confidence interval = 1.24 - 2.96; P = 0.004). Conclusions: The obtained findings demonstrated that C allele (rs731236) and CC variant genotypes were considerably linked with a higher risk of PU in children in the Iranian population.
