Novel mutations of the chloride channel Kb gene in two Japanese patients clinically diagnosed as Bartter syndrome with hypocalciuria.

Abstract excerpt

Hypokalemic metabolic tubulopathy, such as in Bartter syndrome and Gitelman syndrome, is caused by the dysfunction of renal electrolyte transporters. Despite advances in molecular genetics with regard to hypokalemic metabolic tubulopathy, recent reports have suggested that the phenotype-genotype correlation is still confusing, especially in classic Bartter and Gitelman syndromes. We report here two Japanese...
