Abstract:

Bartter syndrome (BS) is a group of uncommon genetic disorders of reabsorption of salt in the cortical thick ascending limb (TAL) of the Henle's loop, typically distinguished by metabolic alkalosis, salt loss, hypokalemia, hyperreninemic hyperaldosteronism and normal blood pressure. Bartter syndrome type 3, recognized as a classic BS (CBS), occurs because of mutations in CLCNKB gene. We enrolled one consanguineous Iranian family with one patient in our study. Targeted genomic capture and massively parallel sequencing (MPS) of all recognized genes responsible for BS subtypes 1–5 were carried out to recognize the genetic reasons of BS. Here, we report the recognition of a novel homozygous frameshift mutation in the CLCNKB gene in an Iranian pedigree. The subjects were homozygous for a frameshift mutation (p.Gly662GlyfsX12) within CLCNKB gene that encodes the basolateral chloride voltage-gated channel Kb. The identification of other causative mutations in CLCNKB gene additionally supports the important function of this gene in causing BS. To the best of our knowledge, this is a novel CLCNKB gene mutation in BS children.The accurate function of the CLCNKB Gly662GlyfsX12 mutation in the CBS pathogenesis  is still unknown.

Identification of a Novel Mutation in CNNM4 Gene in an Iranian Family with Jalili Syndrome

Background and Objectives: Jalili syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder, which so far, only 33 families with this disorder have been reported worldwide. Patients with this disease simultaneously develop cone-rod retinal dystrophy (CRD) and amelogenesis imperfecta (AI). In this study, a mutation causing Jalili syndrome, was investigated in an Iranian family.   Case Report: The...

A novel mutation of CLCNKB in a Korean patient of mixed phenotype of Bartter-Gitelman syndrome

Bartter syndrome (BS) is an inherited renal tubular disorder characterized by low or normal blood pressure, hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis, and hyperreninemic hyperaldosteronism. Type III BS is caused by loss-of-function mutations in CLCNKB encoding basolateral ClC-Kb. The clinical phenotype of patients with CLCNKB mutations has been known to be highly variable, and cases that are difficult to...

Mixed Bartter-Gitelman syndrome: an inbred family with a heterogeneous phenotype expression of a novel variant in the CLCNKB gene

Patients with renal diseases associated with salt-losing tubulopathies categorized as Gitelman and classic form of Bartter syndrome have undergone genetic screening for possible mutation capture in two different genes: SLC12A3 and CLCNKB. Clinical symptoms of these two diseases may overlap. Bartter syndrome and Gitelman syndrome are autosomal recessive salt-losing tubulopathies with hypokalemia...

Identification of the Peroxisomal Biogenesis Factor 1 Gene Point Mutation in an Iranian Family with Zellweger Syndrome (ZS)

   Background & Objective:  Peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs) are a group of diseases with peroxisomal dysfunction. Wide range of symptoms are associated with the disease which are due to mutations in the PEX genes. The PEX1 mutation occurs in Zellweger syndrome (ZS), a severe autosomal recessive condition with hypotonia, intellectual disability, and hepatic enlargement. The present study ...

Identification of a Novel Arylsulfatase B Gene Mutation in Three Unrelated Iranian Mucopolysaccharidosis Type-VI Patients with Different Phenotype Severity

Background: Mucopolysaccharidosis type-VI (MPS-VI), which is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, results from the deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfatase (arylsulfatase B) activity and the lysosomal accumulation of dermatan sulfate. In this study, ARSB mutation analysis was performed on three unrelated patients who were originally from the West Azerbaijan province of Iran. Method...
