Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Gitelman's syndrome (GS) is an autosomal recessive renal tubular disorder caused by mutations in the SLC12A3 gene encoding the thiazide-sensitive Na(+)-Cl(-) cotransporter (NCC). Despite meticulous sequencing of genomic DNA, approximately one-third of GS patients are negative or heterozygotes for the known mutations. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS: Because blood...
