Abstract excerpt
Na+/H+ exchanger NHE3 mediates the majority of intestinal and renal electroneutral sodium absorption. Dysfunction of NHE3 is associated with a variety of diarrheal diseases. We previously reported that the NHE3 gene (SLC9A3) has more than 400 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) but few nonsynonymous polymorphisms. Among the latter, one polymorphism (rs2247114-G>A), which causes a substitution from arginine to...
