Abstract excerpt
Dent's disease is an X-linked recessive disorder affecting the proximal tubules. Mutations in the 2Cl(-)/H(+) exchanger ClC-5 gene CLCN5 are frequently associated with Dent's disease. Functional characterization of mutations of CLCN5 have helped to elucidate the physiopathology of Dent's disease and provided evidence that several different mechanisms underlie the ClC-5 dysfunction in Dent's disease. Modeling...
