A Novel KCNJ5-insT149 Somatic Mutation Close to, but Outside, the Selectivity Filter Causes Resistant Hypertension by Loss of Selectivity for Potassium
24 Jul 2014
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Understanding the function of the KCNJ5 potassium channel through characterization of naturally occurring novel mutations is key for dissecting the mechanism(s) of autonomous aldosterone secretion in primary aldosteronism. OBJECTIVE: We sought for such novel KCNJ5 channel mutations in a large database of patients with aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs). METHODS: We discovered a novel somatic...
