Since the initial description in the 1960s of patients with seemingly inherited disorders characterized by hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis, the pathophysiologic processes underlying Bartter and Gitelman syndromes have generated... more
Until recently, significant advances in our understanding of the mechanisms of blood pressure regulation arose from studies of monogenic forms of hypertension and hypotension, which identified rare variants that primarily alter renal salt... more
Genetic kidney diseases (GKDs) are an important and well-known entity in pediatric nephrology. Advances in genetic and molecular approaches in the last 15 years have enabled elucidation of the underlying molecular defects in many of these... more
Basal and bradykinin stimulated release of prostaglandins (6-oxo-PGF1 alpha, PGF2 alpha, PGE2) and of arachidonic acid (C20:4) from skin fibroblast cultures of two patients with Bartter's Syndrome were compared with age and sex... more
Type III Bartter syndrome (BS) is an autosomal recessive renal tubule disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in the CLCNKB gene, which encodes the chloride channel protein ClC-Kb. In this study, we carried out a complete clinical... more
Bartter syndrome (BS) is classified into 5 genotypes according to underlying mutant genes and BS III is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the CLCNKB gene encoding for basolateral ClC-Kb. BS III is the most common genotype in Korean... more
Antenatal Bartter syndrome (aBS) comprises a heterogeneous group of autosomal recessive salt-losing nephropathies. Identification of three genes that code for renal transporters and channels as responsible for aBS has resulted in new... more
Identification of neonatal hyperkalemia as a complication of Bartter syndrome (BS), a disorder usually characterized by hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis. Study design Case-series description of a group of 12 infants with mutations in the... more
Bartter syndrome, a group of disorders that encompasses multiple genetic defects with similar clinical presentation, has been divided into six different genotypes, according to different genetic defects, and into three main clinical... more
Bartter's syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hypokalemia, hyperaldosteronism, sodium wasting, normal blood pressure, hypochloremicalkalosis, and hyperplasia of the juxtaglomerular apparatus. We present a... more
The bumetanide-sensitive Na+-K+-2Cl− cotransporter NKCC2, located in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop, plays a critical role in the kidney's ability to concentrate urine. In humans, loss-of-function mutations of the solute... more
Mutations in genes encoding ion channels have increasingly been identified to cause disease conditions collectively termed channelopathies. Recognizing the molecular basis of an ion channel disease has provided new opportunities for... more
A 16-month-old boy was admitted to the clinic because of vomiting and growth failure. His weight and height measurements were under the fifth percentile. He had fair hair and skin, enlarged wrists and rachitic rosaries. The presence of... more
