Genetic diagnosis of Bartter syndrome in Iranian patients and detection of a novel homozygous CLCNKB mutation

Abstract

An Iranian girl with clinical symptoms of Bartter syndrome like hypokalemia, polyuria, polydipsia, hyponatremia, and hypochloremic alkalosis was referred to us in whom the CLCNKB gene was genetically evaluated using Sanger sequencing. A homozygous pathogenic variant of c.1332_1335delCTCT was detected in this patient.
