Abstract excerpt
Dent's disease is an X-linked inherited disorder characterized by hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis, nephrolithiasis, low molecular weight proteinuria, Fanconi's syndrome, and renal failure. It is caused by inactivating mutations in CLC5, a member of the CLC voltage-gated chloride channel family. CLC5 is known to be expressed in the endosomal compartment of the renal proximal tubule, where it may be required for...
