Gitelman syndrome (GS) is characterized by salt-losing hypotension, hypomagnesemia, hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis, and hypocalciuria. To better model human GS caused by a specific mutation in the thiazidesensitive Na 1 -Cl À cotransporter (NCC) gene SLC12A3, we generated a nonsense Ncc Ser707X kno

The SLC12A3 gene encodes the thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl co-transporter (NCCT) expressed in the apical membrane of the distal convoluted tubule of the kidney. Inactivating mutations of this gene are responsible for Gitelman syndrome (GS), a disorder inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. We searche
The authors regret that there was an error in Table 2 on Page 3 of the original article. In patient 2, the substitution 2979C>T is not correct. It should be 2979G>A, just as found in patient 12 who has the identical mutation.
