Genetic aspects of primary hyperoxaluria: diagnostics and treatment
Primary hyperoxaluria is a group of inherited metabolic diseases characterized by increased formation of calcium-oxalate stones in kidneys with development of nephrolithiasis and chronic kidney disease. The article summarizes the modern information on the diagnostics and treatment of the disorder depending on genotype of the patient (AGXT, GRHPR, HOGA1 genes). The evaluation of the molecular genetic aetiology of the kidney stone disease contributes to the personalized treatment and prevention of the pathology in the patients and their relatives
Genetic aspects of primary hyperoxaluria: epidemiology, ethiology, pathogenesis, and clinical signs of the disorder
Primary hyperoxaluria is a group of rare inherited diseases characterized by impaired oxalate metabolism with the early manifestation of urolithiasis and the development of the chronic kidney disease. The mutations in the AGXT, GRHPR, HOGA1 genes are attributable for different types of primary hyperoxaluria leading to the dysfunction of specific enzymes involved in the oxalate metabolism. The article summary the current data on the epidemiology, genetic and biochemical aspects of pathogenesis of the primary hyperoxaluria types 1-3. The variety of clinical signs and disease severity depend on the type of hyperoxaluria
