Correcting hypokalaemia in a paediatric patient with Bartter syndrome through oral dose of potassium chloride intravenous solution

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2021
Bartter syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hypokalaemia. Hypokalaemia is defined as low serum potassium concentration ˂3.5 mmol/L, which may lead to arrhythmia and death if left untreated.

High Concordance of Copy Number Variants Detected by Chromosomal Microarray and Exome Sequencing in Clinical Diagnostics

Clinical Genetics, Volume 109, Issue 3, Page 529-538, March 2026.
To assess the relevance of exome sequencing as a first‐tier diagnostic tool, three aspects were investigated: detection of copy number variants (CNVs) from exomes as compared to chromosomal microarray, clinically‐relevant CNVs across all sizes, and additional diagnostic utilities (uniparental disomy and triploidy).

Developmental Expression of Membrane Pumps and Ion Channels in Human Vestibular Endolymph Homeostasis

Developmental Neurobiology, Volume 86, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The expression patterns of key membrane pumps and ion channels involved in endolymph cycling have been studied in the rodent inner ear and the developing and adult human cochlea. However, little is known about their expression during the development of the human vestibular system.
