Molecular investigation and long-term clinical progress in Greek Cypriot families with recessive distal renal tubular acidosis and sensorineural deafness due to mutations in the ATP6V1B1 gene.

Abstract excerpt

The spectrum of distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) includes a genetically heterogeneous group of inherited conditions of both autosomal-dominant and recessive mode of inheritance. The basic defect is linked to the renal part of acid-base homeostasis, which is partly achieved by the regulated luminal secretion of H+ at the apical surface of the alpha-intercalated cells of renal collecting ducts. This is coupled...
