Nephrolithiasis, kidney failure and bone disorders in Dent disease patients with and without CLCN5 mutations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
open9noDent disease (DD) is a rare X-linked recessive renal tubulopathy characterised by low-molecular-weight proteinuria (LMWP), hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis and/or nephrolithiasis. DD is caused by mutations in both the CLCN5 and OCRL genes.
