Abstract excerpt
Gitelman's syndrome is an autosomal recessive renal tubular disorder characterized by hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis, hypomagnesemia, and hypocalciuria. This disorder results from mutations in the thiazide-sensitive NaCl cotransporter (NCC). To elucidate the functional implications of mutations associated with this disorder, metolazone-sensitive (22)Na(+) uptake, subcellular localization, and...
