Genetic Analysis of Gitelman Syndrome Patients from the Czech Republic and Slovakia – Three Novel Mutations Found

Abstract: Background: To investigate the genetic cause of inherited hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis associated with Gitelman’s syndrome, we searched for mutations in the SLC12A3 gene (thiazide-sensitive NaCl cotransporter) among a set of patients from the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Methods: We collected blood samples of patients from 16 families with characteristic clinical features. DNA was analyzed for mutation detection with SSCP and subsequent sequencing. Several mutations might be missed when only the SSCP method… Show more

“…Since SLC12A3 was identified as the causative gene for GS in 1996, more than 400 different mutations have been reported in different ethnic groups [27,30,38,39] . Although no global hotspot has been identified, some mutations are frequent within specific populations.…”
