*Heterozygote probands with cystine lithiasis.
†Includes one family with two mutations in the same chromosome in addition to the mutation found in the other chromosome.
‡Includes two families with two mutations in the same chromosome in addition to the mutation found in the other chromosome.
§Includes two families with two mutations found in one chromosome and no mutation found in the other chromosome.
For patients AA(B) and BB(A), two alleles causing the disease and two explained alleles in each case have been taking into account in the calculations.
A, allele SLC3A1 mutated; B, allele SLC7A9 mutated; +, normal allele; ?, unknown allele.
