The association between familial distal renal tubular acidosis and mutations in the red cell anion exchanger (band 3, AE1) gene.

Abstract excerpt

In distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) the tubular secretion of hydrogen ion in the distal nephron is impaired, leading to the development of metabolic acidosis, frequently accompanied by hypokalemia, nephrocalcinosis, and metabolic bone disease. The condition can be familial, when it is usually inherited as an autosomal dominant, though there is a rarer autosomal recessive form associated with nerve deafness....
