Abstract excerpt
Liddle's syndrome is a rare monogenic form of hypertension caused by truncating or missense mutations in the C termini of the epithelial sodium channel beta- or gamma-subunits. These mutations delete or alter a conserved proline-rich amino acid sequence referred to as the PY-motif. We report here a Liddle's syndrome family with a betaArg564X mutation with a premature stop codon deleting the PY-motif of the...
