GATA3 is a member of the GATA family of transcription factors. Heterozygous GATA3 abnormalities are associated with hypoparathyroidism, sensorineural deafness, and renal abnormality (HDR syndrome). However, this triad of symptoms does not occur in all HDR patients and other clinical features may be present in some cases. We report the clinical phenotypes and the molecular analysis of GATA3 in five Japanese HDR...
