Abstract excerpt
The antenatal variant of Bartter's syndrome is an autosomal recessive kidney disease characterized by polyhydramnios, premature delivery, hypokalemic alkalosis and hypercalciuria. It is genetically heterogeneous, having been linked recently to mutations in an ATP-sensitive, renal outer medullary K+channel, ROMK, and earlier to mutations in the Na-K-2Cl co-transporter, NKCC2. We characterized four of the mutations...
