Abstract excerpt
Clinical and genetic studies have suggested that a loss of function and gain of function mutation in the same gene can cause different diseases. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that inactivating mutations in WNK1 (with no K (lysine) protein kinase-1) or WNK4 could be a new candidate for causing hypokalemic salt-losing tubulopathy (SLT) in those patients with unknown genetic defects because SLT is...
