    Fasting ​glucose and ​insulin are intermediate traits for type 2 diabetes. Here we explore the role of coding variation on these traits by analysis of variants on the HumanExome BeadChip in 60,564 non-diabetic individuals and in 16,491 T2D cases and 81,877 controls. We identify a novel association of a low-frequency nonsynonymous SNV in ​GLP1R (A316T; rs10305492; MAF=1.4%) with lower FG (β=−0.09±0.01 mmol l−1, P=3.4 × 10−12), T2D risk (OR[95%CI]=0.86[0.76–0.96], P=0.010), early ​insulin secretion (β=−0.07±0.035 pmolinsulin mmolglucose−1, P=0.048), but higher 2-h ​glucose (β=0.16±0.05 mmol l−1, P=4.3 × 10−4). We identify a gene-based association with FG at ​G6PC2 (pSKAT=6.8 × 10−6) driven by four rare protein-coding SNVs (H177Y, Y207S, R283X and S324P). We identify rs651007 (MAF=20%) in the first intron of ​ABO at the putative promoter of an antisense lncRNA, associating with higher FG (β=0.02±0.004 mmol l−1, P=1.3 × 10−8). Our approach identifies novel coding variant associations and extends the allelic spectrum of variation underlying diabetes-related quantitative traits and T2D susceptibility.

    Metabolic diagnosis and medical prevention of calcium nephrolithiasis and its systemic manifestations: a consensus statement
    (Springer-Verlag, 2016-12) Gambaro, Giovanni; Croppi, Emanuele; Coe, Fredric; Lingeman, James; Moe, Orson; Worcester, Elen; Buchholz, Noor; Bushinsky, David; Curhan, Gary C.; Ferraro, Pietro Manuel; Fuster, Daniel; Goldfarb, David S.; Heilberg, Ita Pfeferman; Hess, Bernard; Lieske, John; Marangella, Martino; Milliner, Dawn; Preminger, Glen M.; Reis Santos, Jose’ Manuel; Sakhaee, Khashayar; Sarica, Kemal; Siener, Roswitha; Strazzullo, Pasquale; Williams, James C.; Department of Urology, School of Medicine
    BACKGROUND: Recently published guidelines on the medical management of renal stone disease did not address relevant topics in the field of idiopathic calcium nephrolithiasis, which are important also for clinical research. DESIGN: A steering committee identified 27 questions, which were proposed to a faculty of 44 experts in nephrolithiasis and allied fields. A systematic review of the literature was conducted and 5216 potentially relevant articles were selected; from these, 407 articles were deemed to provide useful scientific information. The Faculty, divided into working groups, analysed the relevant literature. Preliminary statements developed by each group were exhaustively discussed in plenary sessions and approved. RESULTS: Statements were developed to inform clinicians on the identification of secondary forms of calcium nephrolithiasis and systemic complications; on the definition of idiopathic calcium nephrolithiasis; on the use of urinary tests of crystallization and of surgical observations during stone treatment in the management of these patients; on the identification of patients warranting preventive measures; on the role of fluid and nutritional measures and of drugs to prevent recurrent episodes of stones; and finally, on the cooperation between the urologist and nephrologist in the renal stone patients. CONCLUSIONS: This document has addressed idiopathic calcium nephrolithiasis from the perspective of a disease that can associate with systemic disorders, emphasizing the interplay needed between urologists and nephrologists. It is complementary to the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology guidelines. Future areas for research are identified.

    Urine and stone analysis for the investigation of the renal stone former: a consensus conference
    (SpringerLink, 2021-02) Williams, James C., Jr.; Gambaro, Giovanni; Rodgers, Allen; Asplin, John; Bonny, Olivier; Costa-Bauzá, Antonia; Ferraro, Pietro Manuel; Fogazzi, Giovanni; Fuster, Daniel G.; Goldfarb, David S.; Grases, Félix; Heilberg, Ita P.; Kok, Dik; Letavernier, Emmanuel; Lippi, Giuseppe; Marangella, Martino; Nouvenne, Antonio; Petrarulo, Michele; Siener, Roswitha; Tiselius, Hans-Göran; Traxer, Olivier; Trinchieri, Alberto; Croppi, Emanuele; Robertson, William G.; Anatomy and Cell Biology, School of Medicine
    The Consensus Group deliberated on a number of questions concerning urine and stone analysis over a period of months, and then met to develop consensus. The Group concluded that analyses of urine and stones should be routine in the diagnosis and treatment of urinary stone diseases. At present, the 24-h urine is the most useful type of urine collection, and accepted methods for analysis are described. Patient education is also important for obtaining a proper urine sample. Graphical methods for reporting urine analysis results can be helpful both for the physician and for educating the patient as to proper dietary changes that could be beneficial. Proper analysis of stones is also essential for diagnosis and management of patients. The Consensus Group also agreed that research has shown that evaluation of urinary crystals could be very valuable, but the Group also recognizes that existing methods for assessment of crystalluria do not allow this to be part of stone treatment in many places.
