KLHL3 mutations cause familial hyperkalemic hypertension by impairing ion transport in the distal nephron

Hélène Louis-Dit-Picard, +55 more
- 01 Apr 2012 - 
TL;DR: A role is established for KLHL3 as a new member of the complex signaling pathway regulating ion homeostasis in the distal nephron and indirectly blood pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in the human laminin β2 (LAMB2) gene and the associated phenotypic spectrum

TL;DR: The majority of disease‐causing LAMB2 mutations are truncating, consistent with the hypothesis that loss of laminin β2 function is the molecular basis of Pierson syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ophthalmological aspects of Pierson syndrome.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multicenter study of 17 patients with molecularly confirmed Pierson syndrome was conducted, where the most characteristic ocular anomaly was microcoria and a wide range of additional abnormalities were found, including posterior embryotoxon, megalocornea, iris hypoplasia, cataract, abnormal lens shape, posterior lenticonus, persistent fetal vasculature, retinal detachment, variable axial lengths, and glaucoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nephrotic syndrome and thrombotic microangiopathy caused by cobalamin C deficiency

TL;DR: Although uncommon, the clinical picture of CblC defects may be ruled by nephrotic syndrome mimicking glomerulonephritis, minimal change disease, or primary focal and segmental glomersulosclerosis.
