Background: The genetic factor of urolithiasis plays an important role in the etiology. Elucidation of responsible genes can lead to better targeted gene therapy and prevention in the future. This article aims to explain various genetic factors that play a role in kidney stone formation Method: A review article on urolithiasis based on a genetic approach is reported to underlie stone formation. A total of 41 abstracts and research articles published by internationally reputed journals were selected based on the keywords genetic factors and urolithiasis. Summary: A deeper understanding of the genetic factors that play a role in the mechanisms of stone formation and advances in molecular and pharmacogenomics have revolutionized diagnosis and treatment, and paved the way for the identification of new therapeutic targets and treatment approaches based on genetic engineering.

Urolithiasis is a multifactorial disease with an incidence rate of more than one million cases reported annually in India. Various forms of the calculus have been reported to have 90-95% inorganic and 5% organic matter. Out of the major proteins that comprise this organic component of the matrix, albumin, and uromodulin are found to be the most abundant. Albumin is also the most abundant protein in the human blood serum where it plays the role of a transporter of hormones, fatty acids, and other compounds. The increased concentrations of albumin may significantly affect a patient’s susceptibility to kidney stone formation. The study of the role of albumin in urolithiasis could give us useful insights on its potential role in this disease and may add to the therapeutic repertoire of albumin.

The proximal tubule (PT) is responsible for the majority of calcium reabsorption by the kidney. Most PT calcium transport appears to be passive, although the molecular facilitators have not been well established. Emerging evidence supports a major role for PT calcium transport in idiopathic hypercalciuria and the development of kidney stones. This review will cover recent developments in our understanding of PT calcium transport and the role of the PT in kidney stone formation.
