Functional mutations in CLCNKB are associated with Bartter's syndrome type 3, a hereditary salt-losing nephropathy. To address the function of ClC-K2 in vivo, we generated ClC-K2-deficient mice. METHODS: ClC-K2-deficient mice were generated using TALEN technology. RESULTS: ClC-K2-deficient mice were...
