Type, location and zygosity of <i>KCNJ16</i> mutations may determine the clinical severity of Hypokalemic Tubulopathy and Deafness (HkTD)
2026-01-15
Abstract excerpt
The pivotal role of K ir 5.1 ( KCNJ16 ) in maintaining electrolyte and acid-base homeostasis was demonstrated by animal studies and highlighted by the identification of disease-causing mutations in KCNJ16 resulting in a complex tubulopathy with variable severity. Although the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive, the modus operandi of K ir 5.1 is rooted in its heteromeric association with K ir 4.1 (...
