Abstract excerpt
The Na-K-Cl cotransporter-1 (NKCC1), by mediating the electroneutral transport of Na+ , K+ , and Cl- plays an important role in cell volume regulation, epithelial transport, and the control of neuronal excitability. Recently, we reported the first known human mutation in SLC12A2, the gene encoding NKCC1. The 17-year old patient suffers from multiorgan failure. Laboratory tests conducted on muscle and liver...
