Discordant Genotype-Phenotype Correlation in Familial Hyperaldosteronism Type III with KCNJ5 Gene Mutation: A Patient Report and Review of the Literature
1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Familial hyperaldosteronism type III (FH-III) is a rare autosomal dominant disease for which five missense mutations in KCNJ5 have been identified. FH-III has a wide phenotypic variability from spironolactone-responsive hyperaldosteronism to massive adrenal hypertrophy with drug-resistant hypertension. This variation has mainly been attributed to genotype, because, in contrast to other genotypes...
