Abstract
Our results suggest that a locus on chromosome 11 is associated with protection against renal scarring in patients with vesicoureteral reflux. In addition, a new locus on chromosome 17 may be linked to renal scarring. Our results suggest that multiple genes contribute to the formation of the vesicoureteral reflux phenotype, with patients having a unique susceptibility to renal injury/damage.
