Dent’s disease is associated with impaired renal endocytosis and endosomal acidification. It is linked to mutations in the membrane chloride/proton exchanger ClC-5, however, a direct link between localization in the protein and functional phenotype of ...

Albumin uptake in human podocytes: a possible role for the cubilin-amnionless (CUBAM) complex
Albumin re-uptake is a receptor-mediated pathway located in renal proximal tubuli. There is increasing evidence of glomerular protein handling by podocytes, but little is known about the mechanism behind this process.

Functional and transport analyses of CLCN5 genetic changes identified in Dent disease patients
Dent disease type 1, an X-linked inherited kidney disease is caused by mutations in electrogenic Cl(-)/H(+) exchanger, ClC-5. We functionally studied the most frequent mutation (S244L) and two mutations recently identified in RKSC patients, Q629X and R345W.

Nephrocalcinosis – latest reports on risk factors
This review synthesises recent discoveries in the risk factors of nephrocalcinosis, with a particular focus on novel findings. Nephrocalcinosis, characterised by the deposition of calcium salts in the renal parenchyma, is linked to a variety of genetic ...

Familial idiopathic low-molecular-weight proteinuria (FILMWP) is a renal proximal tubulopathy that occurs predominantly in males. FILMWP is characterized by mild proteinuria consisting of low-molecular-weight proteinuria, aminoaciduria and relatively conserved renal function, but without rickets. To determine whether FILMWP is related to the CLCN5 gene,

The annual urinary screening of Japanese children above three years of age has identified a progressive renal tubular disorder characterized by low molecular weight proteinuria, hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis. The disorder has been observed in over 60 patients and has a familial predisposition.

Effect of growth hormone replacement therapy in a boy with Dent's disease: a case report
Introduction Dent's disease is an X-linked recessive proximal tubulopathy characterized by low molecular weight proteinuria, hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis, nephrolithiasis and progressive renal failure.

Severe Osteomalacia with Dent Disease Caused by a Novel Intronic Mutation of the CLCN5 gene.
We present a case of Dent disease caused by a novel intronic mutation, 1348-1G>A, of the chloride voltage-gated channel 5 (CLCN5) gene. Cultured proximal tubule cells obtained from the patient showed impaired acidification of the endosome and/or lysosome, indicating that the 1348-1G>A mutation was indeed the cause of Dent disease.
