Magnesium (Mg2+) plays a crucial role in many biological processes especially in the brain, heart and skeletal muscle. Mg2+ homeostasis is regulated by intestinal absorption and renal reabsorption, involving a combination of different epithelial transport pathways. Mutations in any of these transporters result in hypomagnesemia with variable clinical presentations. Among these, CNNM2 is found along the...
