Abstract excerpt
Gitelman's syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder of salt wasting and hypokalemia caused by mutations in the thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporter. To investigate the pathogenesis of Gitelman's syndrome, eight disease mutations were introduced into the mouse thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporter and studied by functional expression in Xenopus oocytes. Sodium uptake into oocytes that expressed the wild-type...
