264350 | OMIM | Pseudohypoaldosteronism 1, autosomal recessive (PHA1B) | A rare salt wasting disease resulting from target organ unresponsiveness to mineralocorticoids. PHA1B is a severe form involving multiple organ systems, and characterized by an often fulminant presentation in the neonatal period with dehydration, hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis, failure to thrive and weight loss. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. The degree of channel function impairment differentially affects the renin-aldosterone system and urinary Na/K ratios, resulting in distinct genotype-phenotype relationships in PHA1 patients. Loss-of-function mutations are associated with a severe clinical course and age-dependent hyperactivation of the renin-aldosterone system. This feature is not observed in patients with missense mutations that reduce but do not eliminate channel function. Markedly reduced channel activity results in impaired linear growth and delayed puberty (PubMed:18634878). |
613021 | OMIM | Bronchiectasis with or without elevated sweat chloride 2 (BESC2) | A debilitating respiratory disease characterized by chronic, abnormal dilatation of the bronchi and other cystic fibrosis-like symptoms in the absence of known causes of bronchiectasis (cystic fibrosis, autoimmune diseases, ciliary dyskinesia, common variable immunodeficiency, foreign body obstruction). Clinical features include sub-normal lung function, sinopulmonary infections, chronic productive cough, excessive sputum production, and elevated sweat chloride in some cases. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
618126 | OMIM | Liddle syndrome 3 (LIDLS3) | A form of Liddle syndrome, an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by early onset of hypertension, hypokalemic alkalosis, and suppression of plasma renin activity and aldosterone secretion. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
