Abstract excerpt
Uromodulin storage diseases are characterized by hyperuricemia of underexcretion type and renal insufficiency. Although these diseases are caused by mutations in the UMOD gene that encodes the kidney-specific glycoprotein uromodulin, the effect of uromodulin mutation on the kidney has not been clearly established. In this study, we investigated the effect by comparing transgenic mice expressing human uromodulin...
