The article presents pooled results of domestic and international studies investigating genetic aspects of urolithiasis associated with impaired calcium metabolism. The review highlights the importance of early and accurate diagnosis of hereditary diseases associated with kidney stone formation. Of more than 80 currently known monogenic forms of urolithiasis, the authors provide the list of the most significant forms. Using such molecular genetic methods as NGS (next generation sequencing) allows accurate detection of the genetic cause of the disease, develop an individual approach the patient’s management and timely prevention of the disease among the relatives of the proband.
