Genetic influences play a major role in #kidneystone formation, especially for recurrent stone formers. A recent study published in Nature Reviews Urology highlighted that 30% of chronic kidney stone patients develop stones as a result of their monogenetic disorders!

Currently, the genetic drivers of this disease remain unknown. However, with the rapid advancements in genomic studies, #urologists can look forward to novel diagnoses and treatment measures for kidney stones in the near future.
