摘要: Background A correlation between renal mass and nephron number in newborns allows the use of total kidney volume at birth as a surrogate for congenital number. As bone morphogenetic protein type 4 (BMP4), its receptor 1A (BMPR1A, ALK3), play an important role development, we hypothesized that common, functional polymorphisms their genes might be responsible variation size among healthy individuals.
