Association of functional genetic variants in TFF1 and nephrolithiasis risk in a Chinese population.

ABSTRACT: Trefoil Factor 1 (TFF1) is considered to be able to inhibit the formation of kidney stone. However, genetic variants in TFF1 and corresponding function in kidney stone development are still not well studied. In this study, the discovery set including 230 cases and 250 controls was used to analyze the association between seven tagSNPs of TFF1 gene and the nephrolithiasis risk. Further evaluation was confirmed by the validation set comprising 307 cases and 461 controls. The consequences of the two-stage case-control study indicated that individuals with the rs3761376 A allele have significantly increased nephrolithiasis risk than those with the GG genotypes [adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 1.35, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.05-1.73]. Moreover, we also carried out a stratified analysis and fou
