Genetic polymorphisms of human transcription factor-7 like 2 (TCF7L2), β-defensin (DEFB1) and CD14 genes in nephrolithiasis patients

The present findings are first of its class that validates a considerable connection of DEFB1 and TCF7L2 gene polymorphisms with nephrolithiasis and could probably act as indicators to estimate the risk associated to nephrolithiasis.
