Scientists hunt for kidney stone genes in 6,000-Person study
NCT ID NCT03305835
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find the specific genes and mutations that cause rare, inherited forms of kidney stone disease. Researchers will analyze DNA from up to 6,000 participants to understand how these genetic changes lead to stones. The goal is to use this knowledge to develop better treatments in the future.

Inclusion Criteria: Participants meet at least one of the following criteria: 1. Patients \<18yrs with a history of kidney stones, and/or nephrocalcinosis, OR 2. Patients \>18yrs with a history of kidney stones, and/or nephrocalcinosis and at least one of the following: 1. Family history of stones or nephrocalcinosis or unexplained kidney failure 2. Growth retardation 3. Metabolic bone disease 4. Unusual stone composition or pathologic or urinary crystals 5. Proteinuria 6. Reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 7. Hypomagnesemia or hypophosphatemia or hypercalcemia 8. Increased oxalate 9. Renal cysts, OR 3. Patients with a high clinical suspicion for a monogenic kidney stone disease or a disorder of calcium metabolism OR 4. Patients previously enrolled in the Rare Kidney Stone Consortium 6406 protocol (identified as legacy samples), "Genetic Characterization and Genotype/Phenotype Correlations in Primary Hyperoxaluria." These patients have already consented for their samples to be used in genetic research and that consent will serve to enroll them in this study, OR 5. Patients previously enrolled in the Rare Kidney Stone Consortium 6403 protocol (identified as legacy samples), "Screening for Dent Disease Mutations in Patients with Proteinuria or Hypercalciuria and Calcium Urolithiasis." These patients have already consented for their samples to be used in genetic research and that consent will serve to enroll them in this study, OR 6. Family member of a patient that meets at least one of the above criteria Exclusion Criteria: 1. Stone formers who do not meet the inclusion criteria for clinical suspicion of one of the monogenic kidney stone diseases 2. Unwilling or unable to provide consent/assent
