Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (PHA1) is a rare salt-wasting syndrome. Mutations in the NR3C2 gene coding for the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) cause autosomal dominant PHA1. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to reveal the cause of renal salt loss in six PHA1 patients and analyze the mutants' functional impact on MR function. DESIGN: Our study included the following: clinical and hormonal characterization...
