Abstract excerpt
Gitelman syndrome is a mostly autosomal recessive disorder affecting the renal tubular function associated with hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia. Functional studies point to a defect in the distal renal tubule in the thiazide-sensitive, electroneutral sodium-chloride co-transporter (TSC). Based upon the localization of a 2.6 cDNA encoding the human TSC to chromosome 16q13, polymorphic markers spanning the region...
