Gitelman & Gordon : mirror image syndromes reveal the roles of WNKs in blood pressure homeostasis and novel anti-hypertensive targets

2019-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Study of Gordon (PHAII) and Gitelman (GS) syndromes revealed the importance of the WNK pathway and thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl Cotransporter (NCC) in the renal control of blood pressure. PHAII mutations lead to WNK accumulation resulting in the hyperphosphorylation of the downstream effector, SPAK, which overactivates NCC causing salt retention and hypertension. Mutations causing deletion of exon-9 in Cullin-3, which...
