BACKGROUND: Liddle's syndrome is an autosomal inheritable disorder that causes hypertension due to excess function of sodium channel. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the DNA sequence of the amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) in three patients who had low-renin hypertension with hypokalemia.
