Systemic pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (PHA1) is characterized by excessive salt loss from the renal tubulus, colon, sweat and salivary glands. Here we present a case of systemic PHA1 whose genetic analysis revealed a homozygous splicing mutation in intron 4 of SCNN1A (c.684+2 T>A) and discuss with the patient's phenotype. Previously described systemic PHA cases show varying degrees of severity dependent on the...
