Abstract excerpt
Pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (PHA1, OMIM 264350) is an uncommon inherited disorder characterized by salt-wasting and end-organ unresponsiveness to mineralocorticoids. A complete genome search using homozygosity mapping in eleven consanguineous families with PHA1 provided conclusive evidence of linkage with heterogeneity. The disease locus mapped to chromosome 16p12.2-13.11 in six families and to 12p13.1-pter in...
