Examination of the predicted prevalence of Gitelman syndrome by ethnicity based on genome databases
Gitelman syndrome is an autosomal recessive inherited salt-losing tubulopathy. It has a prevalence of around 1 in 40,000 people, and heterozygous carriers are estimated at approximately 1%, although the exact prevalence is unknown.

Targeted immune interventions for type 1 diabetes: not as easy as it looks! [PDF]
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Although insulin is lifesaving and sustaining for those with type 1 diabetes (T1D), curing the disease will be much more complex than simple replacement of this hormone.

Characterisation of the Cullin-3 mutation that causes a severe form of familial hypertension and hyperkalaemia [PDF]
Deletion of exon 9 from Cullin‐3 (CUL3, residues 403–459: CUL3Δ403–459) causes pseudohypoaldosteronism type IIE (PHA2E), a severe form of familial hyperkalaemia and hypertension (FHHt).

Gitelman and Bartter Syndrome in a Patient With Morbid Obesity: A Case Report and Literature Review
ABSTRACT We present a case study of a 34‐year‐old man with morbid obesity and a suspected Bartter–Gitelman spectrum tubulopathy (without genetic confirmation), weighing 135 kg, and with a BMI of 42.5 kg/m2, who was referred to the metabolic and bariatric surgery department due to morbid obesity to address abnormal electrolyte levels.

Exonic Variation and Its Clinical Impact in 7221 Old Order Amish
ABSTRACT The Amish of Lancaster County, PA has been the focus of genetic studies for many years due to its demographic history and unique genetic makeup that includes a historical bottleneck event and subsequent genetic drift, resulting in a marked decrease in genetic diversity and increased frequency of some variants that have substantially shaped the
