Kidney Stones

Kidney stones are small, solid masses that form when salts or minerals from the urine precipitate and grow as crystals inside the kidney. They are one of the most common and painful disorders of the urinary tract. Genetics play a significant role in peoples’ tendency to develop kidney stones.

Ks
According to the selected literature, the relative genetic risk calculated from your genotype for males of European ancestry is 0.69. This corresponds to a 8.3% lifetime risk of developing kidney stones, which is 31% less than for males of European ancestry in general (source) . Note that these calculations may not include all risk factors.
The lifetime risk of your type
It is estimated that 8 of every 100 males of European ancestry with your genotype variants develop this disease in their lifetime.
Ks
The average lifetime risk
On average, about 12 of every 100 males of European ancestry develop this disease in their lifetime.
