Abstract excerpt
Anion exchanger 1 (AE1 or SLC4A1) mutations have been reported to cause distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA), a disease characterized by impaired acid excretion in the distal nephron. We have recently demonstrated homozygous AE1 G701D mutation as a common molecular defect of autosomal recessive (AR) dRTA in a group of Thai pediatric patients. In the present work, we discovered a de novo heterozygous AE1 R589C...
