Abstract excerpt
Bartter syndrome (BS) is a heterogeneous renal tubular disorder affecting Na-K-Cl reabsorption in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop. BS type I patients typically present with profound hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis. The main goal of the present study was to elucidate the functional implications of six homozygous mutations (G193R, A267S, G319R, A508T, del526N, and Y998X) in the bumetanide-sensitive...
