Abstract
Background. Urolithiasis is currently one of the topical issues of contemporary urology and medicine in general. This is primarily due to the high prevalence of urolithiasis; according to several population studies it ranges from 3.5 to 9.6%. At the same time, there is a steady increase in its incidence. Therefore, the matter of urolithiasis is one of the most urgent in present-day medicine. 
 Objectives. The aim of the research was to study the content of a polymorphic genetic marker of the vitamin D receptor gene related to development and relapse of urolithiasis in children.
 Methods. The content of a polymorphic genetic marker of the vitamin D receptor gene related to development and relapse of urolithiasis in 100 children was investigated. 
 Results. The results of the study prove that the vitamin D receptor gene assists in revealing disorders that promote urolithiasis development.
 Conclusion. Comparative analysis of the frequency of distribution of Fok1 genotypes of the vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism showed that statistical significance of the association (p=0.02) of f allele according to the dominant inheritance model (total Ff+ff genotypes) was established in the group of patients with urolithiasis compare to the corresponding indicator of the control group (63%).
