Genotyping Data and Novel Haplotype Diversity of STR Markers in the SLC26A4 Gene Region in Five Ethnic Groups of the Iranian Population [PDF]
Background and Aims: SLC26A4 gene mutations are the second currently identifiable genetic cause of autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss after GJB2 mutations.

A Role for Iodide and Thyroglobulin in Modulating the Function of Human Immune Cells
Iodine is an essential element required for the function of all organ systems. Although the importance of iodine in thyroid hormone synthesis and reproduction is well known, its direct effects on the immune system are elusive.

Autoimmune Thyroiditis in Childhood [PDF]
Autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) is the most common thyroid disorder in the pediatric age range. The disease results from an as yet poorly characterized defect or defects in immunoregulation and a cascade of events progressing from lymphocyte infiltration of

Ion transporters are the molecular basis for ion homeostasis of the cell and the whole organism. The anion exchanger pendrin is only one of a number of examples where a complete or partial loss of function and/or deregulation of expression of ion ...

Regulated acid-base transport in the collecting duct [PDF]
The renal collecting system serves the fine-tuning of renal acid-base secretion. Acid-secretory type-A intercalated cells secrete protons via a luminally expressed V-type H+-ATPase and generate new bicarbonate released by basolateral chloride/bicarbonate

Episodic and electrical nervous system disorders caused by nonchannel genes. [PDF]
As noted in the separate introduction to this special topic section, episodic and electrical disorders can appear quite different clinically and yet share many overlapping features, including attack precipitants, therapeutic responses, natural history ...

Pendrin function and regulation in Xenopus oocytes.
SLC26A4/PDS mutations cause Pendred Syndrome and non-syndromic deafness. but some aspects of function and regulation of the SLC26A4 polypeptide gene product, pendrin, remain controversial or incompletely understood. We have therefore extended the functional analysis of wildtype and mutant pendrin in Xenopus oocytes, with studies of isotopic flux ...

The emerging role of pendrin in renal chloride reabsorption [PDF]
renal reabsorption of sodium and chloride is tightly linked in most segments, often occurring even through the same transport proteins such as the Na-K-2Cl− cotransporter NKCC2 or the Na-Cl cotransporter NCC in the thick ascending limb or the distal tubule, respectively ([1][1], [6][2]).
