Background Gitelman syndrome (GS) is a rare autosomal recessively inherited salt-wasting tubulopathy associated with mutations in the SLC12A3 gene, which encodes for NaCl cotransporter (NCC) in the kidney.

Abstract INTRODUCTION Cardiometabolic risks affect cognition during aging, yet genetic basis for both remain understudied in Indians. METHODS This study constructs an ancestry‐matched Indian haplotype reference panel for genotype imputation of 5111 rural Indians. Single‐locus, gene‐based, conditional genome‐wide association analyses are performed on 20

A Network of SLC and ABC Transporter and DME Genes Involved in Remote Sensing and Signaling in the Gut-Liver-Kidney Axis. [PDF]
Genes central to drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination (ADME) also regulate numerous endogenous molecules. The Remote Sensing and Signaling Hypothesis argues that an ADME gene-centered network-including SLC and ABC "drug" transporters,

KoVariome: Korean National Standard Reference Variome database of whole genomes with comprehensive SNV, indel, CNV, and SV analyses [PDF]
High-coverage whole-genome sequencing data of a single ethnicity can provide a useful catalogue of population-specific genetic variations, and provides a critical resource that can be used to more accurately identify pathogenic genetic variants.

Gene expression and functional annotation of the human and mouse choroid plexus epithelium [PDF]
Background: The choroid plexus epithelium (CPE) is a lobed neuro-epithelial structure that forms the outer blood-brain barrier. The CPE protrudes into the brain ventricles and produces the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which is crucial for brain homeostasis.

Gitelman syndrome caused by a rare homozygous mutation in the SLC12A3 gene: A case report
Gitelman syndrome (GS) is an unusual, autosomal recessive salt-losing tubulopathy characterized by hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis, hypomagnesemia and hypocalciuria. It is caused by mutations in the solute carrier family 12 member 3 (SLC12A3) gene resulting in disordered function of the thiazide-sensitive NaCl co-transporter.

Clinical and Genetic Characteristics in Patients With Gitelman Syndrome
Introduction: Gitelman syndrome (GS) is a tubulopathy exhibited by salt loss. GS cases are most often diagnosed by chance blood test. Aside from that, some cases are also diagnosed from tetanic symptoms associated with hypokalemia and/or hypomagnesemia ...
