Dent-2 disease with a Bartter-like phenotype caused by the Asp631Glu mutation in the OCRL gene. BMC Nephrol 2022; 23:182. [PMID: 35549682 PMCID: PMC9097321 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-022-02812-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2021] [Accepted: 05/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dent disease is an X-linked disorder characterized by low molecular weight proteinuria (LMWP), hypercalciuria, nephrolithiasis and chronic kidney disease (CKD). It is caused by mutations in the chloride voltage-gated channel 5 (CLCN5) gene (Dent disease-1), or in the OCRL gene (Dent disease-2). It is associated with chronic metabolic acidosis; however metabolic alkalosis has rarely been reported. CASE PRESENTATION We present a family with Dent-2 disease and a Bartter-like phenotype. The main clinical problems observed in the proband included a) primary phosphaturia leading to osteomalacia and stunted growth; b) elevated serum calcitriol levels, leading to hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis; c) severe salt wasting causing hypotension, hyperaldosteronism, hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis; d) partial nephrogenic diabetes insipidus attributed to hypercalcemia, hypokalemia and nephrocalcinosis; e) albuminuria, LMWP. Phosphorous repletion resulted in abrupt cessation of hypercalciuria and significant improvement of hypophosphatemia, physical stamina and bone histology. Years later, he presented progressive CKD with nephrotic range proteinuria attributed to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Targeted genetic analysis for several phosphaturic diseases was unsuccessful. Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) revealed a c.1893C > A variant (Asp631Glu) in the OCRL gene which was co-segregated with the disease in male family members. CONCLUSIONS We present the clinical characteristics of the Asp631Glu mutation in the OCRL gene, presenting as Dent-2 disease with Bartter-like features. Phosphorous repletion resulted in significant improvement of all clinical features except for progressive CKD. Angiotensin blockade improved proteinuria and stabilized kidney function for several years.

Abstract
Bartter syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive, salt-losing disorder characterized by hypokalemic hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis. We are reporting a case of 21 years old patient, who presented with lower limb weakness, marked hypokalemia, proteinuria, and renal impairment detected on laboratory evaluation. The diagnosis of Bartter syndrome was suspected by marked hypokalemia and was supported by renal biopsy which showed evidence of Juxtaglomerular (JG) hyperplasia. This is the first case report about clinicopathological features of the patient with acquired Bartter syndrome and associated undifferentiated connective tissue disorder manifesting as hypokalemia with paralysis.

Abstract
Mutations in the CLCN5 gene encoding the 2Cl- /1H+ exchanger ClC-5 are associated with Dent disease 1, an inherited renal disorder characterized by low-molecular-weight (LMW) proteinuria and hypercalciuria. In the kidney, ClC-5 is mostly localized in proximal tubule cells, where it is thought to play a key role in the endocytosis of LMW proteins. Here, we investigated the consequences of eight previously reported pathogenic missense mutations of ClC-5 surrounding the "proton glutamate" that serves as a crucial H+ -binding site for the exchanger. A complete loss of function was observed for a group of mutants that were either retained in the endoplasmic reticulum of HEK293T cells or unstainable at plasma membrane due to proteasomal degradation. In contrast, the currents measured for the second group of mutations in Xenopus laevis oocytes were reduced. Molecular dynamics simulations performed on a ClC-5 homology model demonstrated that such mutations might alter ClC-5 protonation by interfering with the water pathway. Analysis of clinical data from patients harboring these mutations demonstrated no phenotype/genotype correlation. This study reveals that mutations clustered in a crucial region of ClC-5 have diverse molecular consequences in patients with Dent disease 1, ranging from altered expression to defects in transport.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dent disease is a rare tubulopathy characterized by manifestations of proximal tubular dysfunction, which occurs almost exclusively in males. It mainly presents symptoms in early childhood and may progress to end-stage renal failure between the 3rd and 5th decades of human life. According to its various genetic basis and to clinical signs and symptoms, researchers define two forms of Dent disease (Dent diseases 1 and 2) and suggest that these forms are produced by mutations in the CLCN5 and OCRL genes, respectively. Dent diseases 1 and 2 account for 60% and 15% of all Dent disease cases, and their genetic cause is generally understood. However, the genetic cause of the remaining 25% of Dent disease cases remains unidentified. DATA SOURCES All relevant peer-reviewed original articles published thus far have been screened out from PubMed and have been referenced. RESULTS Genetic testing has been used greatly to identify mutation types of CLCN5 and OCRL gene, and next-generation sequencing also has been used to identify an increasing number of unknown genotypes. Gene therapy may bring new hope to the treatment of Dent disease. The abuse of hormones and immunosuppressive agents for the treatment of Dent disease should be avoided to prevent unnecessary harm to children. CONCLUSIONS The current research progress in classification, genetic heterogeneity, diagnosis, and treatment of Dent disease reviewed in this paper enables doctors and researchers to better understand Dent disease and provides a basis for improved prevention and treatment.

Abstract
Dent disease is a rare genetic disease characterized by low-molecular-weight proteinuria. Dent disease with Bartter-like syndrome is rare and can easily be misdiagnosed and mistreated. Herein, we report a case of Dent disease 1 with Bartter-like syndrome as the initial manifestation. The patient was admitted to The Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University due to polydipsia, polyuria, and weakness of both lower limbs at 2 years of age. Laboratory tests showed that serum sodium, potassium and chlorine levels were low, while serum creatinine levels were normal. The calcium level in the urine was normal. The patient was initially diagnosed with Bartter syndrome, and despite medical interventions, he eventually developed chronic kidney disease stage 4 at 13 years of age. To determine the cause, the patient was recommended to undergo genetic testing, which showed a CLCN5 gene c. 941C > T mutation (p.S314L), and was finally diagnosed as Dent disease 1. The clinical manifestations of Dent disease are complex and diverse. For patients with atypical clinical manifestations or unsatisfactory therapeutic effects, genetic testing is recommended.

Abstract
The common finding of hypokalemic alkalosis in several unrelated disorders may confound the early diagnosis of salt-losing tubulopathy (SLT). Antenatal Bartter syndrome (BS) must be considered in idiopathic early-onset polyhydramnios. Fetal megabladder in BS may allow its distinction from third-trimester polyhydramnios that occurs in congenital chloride diarrhea (CCD). Fetal megacolon occurs in CCD while fecal chloride >90 mEq/L in infants is diagnostic. Failure-to-thrive, polydipsia and polyuria in early childhood are the hallmarks of classic BS. Unlike BS, there is low urinary chloride in hypokalemic alkalosis of intractable emesis and cystic fibrosis. Rarely, renal salt wasting may result from cystinosis, Dent disease, disorders of paracellular claudin-10b and Kir4.1 potassium-channel deficiency. Acquired BS may result from calcimimetic up-regulation of a calcium-sensing receptor or autoantibody inactivation of sodium chloride co-transporters in Sjögren syndrome. A relatively common event of heterozygous gene mutations for Gitelman syndrome increases the likelihood of its random occurrence in certain diseases of adult onset. Finally, diuretic abuse is the most common differential diagnosis of SLT. Unlike the persistent elevation in BS, urinary chloride concentration losses waxes and wanes on day-to-day assessment in patients with diuretic misuse.

Abstract
Dent disease is a rare genetic proximal tubulopathy which is under-recognized. Its phenotypic heterogeneity has led to several different classifications of the same disorder, but it is now widely accepted that the triad of symptoms low-molecular-weight proteinuria, hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis/nephrolithiasis are pathognomonic of Dent disease. Although mutations on the CLCN5 and OCRL genes are known to cause Dent disease, no such mutations are found in about 25–35% of cases, making diagnosis more challenging. This review outlines current knowledge regarding Dent disease from another perspective. Starting from the history of Dent disease, and reviewing the clinical details of patients with and without a genetic characterization, we discuss the phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity that typifies this disease. We focus particularly on all those confounding clinical signs and symptoms that can lead to a misdiagnosis. We also try to shed light on a concealed aspect of Dent disease. Although it is a proximal tubulopathy, its misdiagnosis may lead to patients undergoing kidney biopsy. In fact, some individuals with Dent disease have high-grade proteinuria, with or without hematuria, as in the clinical setting of glomerulopathy, or chronic kidney disease of uncertain origin. Although glomerular damage is frequently documented in Dent disease patients’ biopsies, there is currently no reliable evidence of renal biopsy being of either diagnostic or prognostic value. We review published histopathology reports of tubular and glomerular damage in these patients, and discuss current knowledge regarding the role of CLCN5 and OCRL genes in glomerular function.

Abstract
Kidney stone disease (nephrolithiasis) is a common problem that can be associated with alterations in urinary solute composition including hypercalciuria. Studies suggest that the prevalence of monogenic kidney stone disorders, including renal tubular acidosis with deafness, Bartter syndrome, primary hyperoxaluria and cystinuria, in patients attending kidney stone clinics is ∼15%. However, for the majority of individuals, nephrolithiasis has a multifactorial aetiology involving genetic and environmental factors. Nonetheless, the genetic influence on stone formation in these idiopathic stone formers remains considerable and twin studies estimate a heritability of >45% for nephrolithiasis and >50% for hypercalciuria. The contribution of polygenic influences from multiple loci have been investigated by genome-wide association and candidate gene studies, which indicate that a number of genes and molecular pathways contribute to the risk of stone formation. Genetic approaches, studying both monogenic and polygenic factors in nephrolithiasis, have revealed that the following have important roles in the aetiology of kidney stones: transporters and channels; ions, protons and amino acids; the calcium-sensing receptor (a G protein-coupled receptor) signalling pathway; and the metabolic pathways for vitamin D, oxalate, cysteine, purines and uric acid. These advances, which have increased our understanding of the pathogenesis of nephrolithiasis, will hopefully facilitate the future development of targeted therapies for precision medicine approaches in patients with nephrolithiasis.

Abstract
Proteinuria is a well-known risk factor, not only for renal disorders, but also for several other problems such as cardiovascular diseases and overall mortality. In the kidney, the chloride channel Cl-/H+ exchanger ClC-5 encoded by the CLCN5 gene is actively involved in preventing protein loss. This action becomes evident in patients suffering from the rare proximal tubulopathy Dent disease because they carry a defective ClC-5 due to CLCN5 mutations. In fact, proteinuria is the distinctive clinical sign of Dent disease, and mainly involves the loss of low-molecular-weight proteins. The identification of CLCN5 disease-causing mutations has greatly improved our understanding of ClC-5 function and of the ClC-5-related physiological processes in the kidney. This review outlines current knowledge regarding the CLCN5 gene and its protein product, providing an update on ClC-5 function in tubular and glomerular cells, and focusing on its relationship with proteinuria and Dent disease.

Abstract
This review examines calcium and phosphate transport in the kidney through the lens of the rare X-linked genetic disorder Dent disease. Dent disease type 1 (DD1) is caused by mutations in the CLCN5 gene encoding ClC-5, a Cl- /H+ antiporter localized to early endosomes of the proximal tubule (PT). Phenotypic features commonly include low molecular weight proteinuria (LMWP), hypercalciuria, focal global sclerosis and chronic kidney disease; calcium nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis and hypophosphatemic rickets are less commonly observed. Although it is not surprising that abnormal endosomal function and recycling in the PT could result in LMWP, it is less clear how ClC-5 dysfunction disturbs calcium and phosphate metabolism. It is known that the majority of calcium and phosphate transport occurs in PT cells, and PT endocytosis is essential for calcium and phosphorus reabsorption in this nephron segment. Evidence from ClC-5 KO models suggests that ClC-5 mediates parathormone endocytosis from tubular fluid. In addition, ClC-5 dysfunction alters expression of the sodium/proton exchanger NHE3 on the PT apical surface thus altering transcellular sodium movement and hence paracellular calcium reabsorption. A potential role for NHE3 dysfunction in the DD1 phenotype has never been investigated, either in DD models or in patients with DD1, even though patients with DD1 exhibit renal sodium and potassium wasting, especially when exposed to even a low dose of thiazide diuretic. Thus, insights from the rare disease DD1 may inform possible underlying mechanisms for the phenotype of hypercalciuria and idiopathic calcium stones.

Abstract
Dent disease is an X-linked form of chronic kidney disease characterized by hypercalciuria, low molecular weight proteinuria, nephrocalcinosis, and proximal tubular dysfunction. Clinical presentation is highly variable. Male patients may present with early-onset rickets, recurrent nephrolithiasis, or insidiously with asymptomatic proteinuria or chronic kidney disease. Mutations in both the CLCN5 and OCRL1 genes have been associated with the Dent phenotype and are now classified as Dent-1 and Dent-2, respectively. This article describes the clinical presentation, laboratory evaluation, genetics, pathophysiology, management, and future therapies of Dent disease.

Nephrolithiasis secondary to inherited defects in the thick ascending loop of henle and connecting tubules. Urolithiasis 2018; 47:43-56.

Abstract
Twin and genealogy studies suggest a strong genetic component of nephrolithiasis. Likewise, urinary traits associated with renal stone formation were found to be highly heritable, even after adjustment for demographic, anthropometric and dietary covariates. Recent high-throughput sequencing projects of phenotypically well-defined cohorts of stone formers and large genome-wide association studies led to the discovery of many new genes associated with kidney stones. The spectrum ranges from infrequent but highly penetrant variants (mutations) causing mendelian forms of nephrolithiasis (monogenic traits) to common but phenotypically mild variants associated with nephrolithiasis (polygenic traits). About two-thirds of the genes currently known to be associated with nephrolithiasis code for membrane proteins or enzymes involved in renal tubular transport. The thick ascending limb of Henle and connecting tubules are of paramount importance for renal water and electrolyte handling, urinary concentration and maintenance of acid-base homeostasis. In most instances, pathogenic variants in genes involved in thick ascending limb of Henle and connecting tubule function result in phenotypically severe disease, frequently accompanied by nephrocalcinosis with progressive CKD and to a variable degree by nephrolithiasis. The aim of this article is to review the current knowledge on kidney stone disease associated with inherited defects in the thick ascending loop of Henle and the connecting tubules. We also highlight recent advances in the field of kidney stone genetics that have implications beyond rare disease, offering new insights into the most common type of kidney stone disease, i.e., idiopathic calcium stone disease.

Abstract
Dent disease 1 (DD1) is a renal salt-wasting tubulopathy associated with mutations in the Cl-/H+ antiporter ClC-5. The disease typically manifests with proteinuria, hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis, and nephrolithiasis but is characterized by large phenotypic variability of no clear origin. Several DD1 cases have been reported lately with additional atypical hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis and hyperaldosteronism, symptoms usually associated with another renal disease termed Bartter syndrome (BS). Expression of the Bartter-like DD1 mutant ClC-5 G261E in HEK293T cells showed that it is retained in the ER and lacks the complex glycosylation typical for ClC-5 WT. Accordingly, the mutant abolished CLC ionic transport. Such phenotype is not unusual and is often observed also in DD1 ClC-5 mutants not associated with Bartter like phenotype. We noticed, therefore, that one type of BS is associated with mutations in the protein barttin that serves as an accessory subunit regulating the function and subcellular localization of ClC-K channels. The overlapping symptomatology of DD1 and BS, together with the homology between the proteins of the CLC family, led us to investigate whether barttin might also regulate ClC-5 transport. In HEK293T cells, we found that barttin cotransfection impairs the complex glycosylation and arrests ClC-5 in the endoplasmic reticulum. As barttin and ClC-5 are both expressed in the thin and thick ascending limbs of the Henle's loop and the collecting duct, interactions between the two proteins could potentially contribute to the phenotypic variability of DD1. Pathologic barttin mutants differentially regulated trafficking and processing of ClC-5, suggesting that the interaction between the two proteins might be relevant also for the pathophysiology of BS. Our findings show that barttin regulates the subcellular localization not only of kidney ClC-K channels but also of the ClC-5 transporter, and suggest that ClC-5 might potentially play a role not only in kidney proximal tubules but also in tubular kidney segments expressing barttin. In addition, they demonstrate that the spectrum of clinical, genetic and molecular pathophysiology investigation of DD1 should be extended.

Abstract
Background Bartter and Gitelman syndromes are autosomal recessive disorders of renal tubular salt handling. Due to their rarity, limited long-term data are available to inform prognosis and management. Methods Long-term longitudinal data were analysed for 45 children with pathogenic variants in SLC12A1 (n = 8), KCNJ1 (n = 8), CLCNKB (n = 17), BSND (n = 2) and SLC12A3 (n = 10) seen at a single centre between 1984 and 2014. Median follow-up was 8.9 [interquartile range (IQR) 0.7–18.1] years. Results Polyhydramnios and prematurity were seen in children with SLC12A1 and KCNJ1 mutations. Patients with CLCNKB mutations had the lowest serum potassium and serum magnesium and the highest serum bicarbonate levels. Fractional excretion of chloride was >0.5% in all patients prior to supplementation. Nephrocalcinosis at presentation was present in the majority of patients with SLC12A1 and KCNJ1 mutations, while it was only present in one patient with CLCNKB and not in SLC12A3 or BSND mutations. Growth was impaired, but within the normal range (median height standard deviation score −1.2 at the last follow-up). Impaired estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR <90 mL/min/1.73 m2) at the last follow-up was seen predominantly with SLC12A1 [71 mL/min/1.73 m2 (IQR 46–74)] and KCNJ1 [62 mL/min/1.73 m2 (IQR 48–72)] mutations. Pathological albuminuria was detected in 31/45 children. Conclusions Patients with Bartter and Gitelman syndromes had a satisfactory prognosis during childhood. However, decreased eGFR and pathologic proteinuria was evident in a large number of these patients, highlighting the need to monitor glomerular as well as tubular function. Electrolyte abnormalities were most severe in CLCNKB mutations both at presentation and during follow-up. Fractional excretion of chloride prior to supplementation is a useful screening investigation in children with hypokalaemic alkalosis to establish renal salt wasting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dent disease is a rare X-linked recessive proximal tubulopathy caused by mutations in CLCN5 (Dent-1) or OCRL (Dent-2). As a rule, total protein excretion (TPE) is low in tubular proteinuria compared with glomerular disease. Several authors have reported nephrotic-range proteinuria (NP) and glomerulosclerosis in Dent disease. Therefore, we aimed to analyze protein excretion in patients with documented CLCN5 or OCRL mutations in a systematic literature review. DESIGN PubMed and Embase were searched for cases with documented CLCN5 or OCRL mutations and (semi-)quantitative data on protein excretion. The most reliable data (i.e., TPE > protein-creatinine ratio > Albustix) was used for NP classification. RESULTS Data were available on 148 patients from 47 reports: 126 had a CLCN5 and 22 an OCRLmutation. TPE was not significantly different between both forms (p = 0.11). Fifty-five of 126 (43.7 %) Dent-1 vs 13/22 (59.1 %) Dent-2 patients met the definition of NP (p = 0.25). Serum albumin was normal in all reported cases (24/148). Glomerulosclerosis was noted in 20/32 kidney biopsies and was strongly related to tubulointerstitial fibrosis, but not to kidney function or proteinuria. CONCLUSION More than half of the patients with both forms of Dent disease have NP, and the presence of low molecular weight proteinuria in a patient with NP in the absence of edema and hypoalbuminemia should prompt genetic testing. Even with normal renal function, glomerulosclerosis and tubulointerstitial fibrosis are present in Dent disease. The role of proteinuria in the course of the disease needs to be examined further in longitudinal studies.

Abstract
Idiopathic Fanconi syndrome (FS) is characterized by a generalized dysfunction of the renal proximal tubules. Patients with FS often exhibit growth retardation due to complex factors, such as hypophosphatemia, metabolic acidosis, disturbed vitamin D metabolism and hypokalemia. To date, one FS patient has been reported to exhibit growth failure due to growth hormone deficiency (GHD), but the long-term clinical course of recombinant human GH (rhGH) therapy has not been reported. At 10 months of age, the patient was admitted to our hospital due to growth failure. Blood and urinary biochemical abnormalities, such as hypophosphatemia, metabolic acidosis, glycosuria and low-molecular-weight proteinuria, indicated a generalized dysfunction of the renal proximal tubules. The presence of cystinosis, collagen diseases, toxic agents and metabolic diseases were excluded. These features are compatible with idiopathic FS. Treatment with high-dose alkali, potassium citrate, phosphate buffer, hydrochlorothiazide and vitamin D supplement was initiated. The biochemical abnormalities achieved nearly normal values, and the patient's height was within -2.5 SD at the age of 2 years. However, his height did not continue to increase at the same rate and gradually declined to -2.9 SD at 4 years of age. GH stimulation test demonstrated GHD. After initiation of rhGH therapy, his height improved to -2.0 SD at the age of 9 years with no adverse effects. In conclusion, we report the case of a patient with FS and GHD who continued rhGH therapy for 5 years. The differential diagnosis of GHD should also be considered for FS patients with short stature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dent disease 1 is a rare cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in childhood secondary to mutations in the gene encoding the chloride-proton exchanger, CLC-5, which is found mainly in the proximal tubule. Clinical manifestations are variable and there are no known genotype-phenotype correlations. CASE DIAGNOSIS/TREATMENT The proband was identified as having a mutation in CLCN5. The extended family of the proband was invited to participate in a study of Dent disease after several males were noted to have a history of CKD. Urine retinol binding protein, urine calcium, serum creatinine, and DNA samples were collected for analysis. Ten hemizygous males and 6 heterozygous females were identified. Advanced CKD was detected in 3 males (1 child). Renal biopsies in 4 children showed both glomerular and tubulo-interstitial changes. There was no correlation between age and disease severity. CONCLUSIONS This is the first reported family from the southern hemisphere with this condition. A novel CLCN5 mutation is described, c.1618G>C (p.Ala540Pro). The severity of renal disease varies greatly among individuals.

Abstract
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has led to the identification of previously unrecognized phenotypes associated with classic kidney disease genes. In addition to improving diagnostics for genetically heterogeneous diseases and enabling a faster rate of gene discovery, NGS has enabled an expansion and redefinition of nephrogenetic disease categories. Findings from these studies raise the question of whether disease diagnoses should be made on clinical grounds, on genetic evidence or a combination thereof. Here, we discuss the major kidney disease-associated genes and gene categories for which NGS has expanded the phenotypic spectrum. For example, COL4A3-5 genes, which are classically associated with Alport syndrome, are now understood to also be involved in the aetiology of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. DGKE, which is associated with nephrotic syndrome, is also mutated in patients with atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome. We examine how a shared genetic background between diverse clinical phenotypes can provide insight into the function of genes and novel links with essential pathophysiological mechanisms. In addition, we consider genetic and epigenetic factors that contribute to the observed phenotypic heterogeneity of kidney diseases and discuss the challenges in the interpretation of genetic data. Finally, we discuss the implications of the expanding phenotypic spectra associated with kidney disease genes for clinical practice, genetic counselling and personalized care, and present our recommendations for the use of NGS-based tests in routine nephrology practice.

Abstract
Dent disease is a rare X-linked tubulopathy characterized by low molecular weight proteinuria, hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis and/or nephrolithiasis, progressive renal failure, and variable manifestations of other proximal tubule dysfunctions. It often progresses over a few decades to chronic renal insufficiency, and therefore molecular characterization is important to allow appropriate genetic counseling. Two genetic subtypes have been described to date: Dent disease 1 is caused by mutations of the CLCN5 gene, coding for the chloride/proton exchanger ClC-5; and Dent disease 2 by mutations of the OCRL gene, coding for the inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase OCRL-1. Herein, we review previously reported mutations (n = 192) and their associated phenotype in 377 male patients with Dent disease 1 and describe phenotype and novel (n = 42) and recurrent mutations (n = 24) in a large cohort of 117 Dent disease 1 patients belonging to 90 families. The novel missense and in-frame mutations described were mapped onto a three-dimensional homology model of the ClC-5 protein. This analysis suggests that these mutations affect the dimerization process, helix stability, or transport. The phenotype of our cohort patients supports and extends the phenotype that has been reported in smaller studies.

Abstract
Cl(-) transport in animal cells has fundamental physiological roles and it is mediated by a variety of protein families, one of them being the CLC family of ion channels and transporters. Besides their physiological relevance, CLC proteins show peculiar biophysical properties. This review will focus on a member of the CLC protein family, the endosomal Cl(-)/H(+) antiporter ClC-5. ClC-5 mutations cause Dent's disease, a renal syndrome due to defective protein reabsorption in the proximal tubule. This established the critical function of ClC-5 for endocytosis. However, our understanding of ClC-5's molecular role in endosomes and of its biophysical properties has proved elusive in spite of important progress achieved in the last two decades. Early models in which ClC-5 would provide a shunt conductance to enable efficient endosomal acidification conflicted with the antiport activity of ClC-5 that has more recently emerged. Currently, the physiological role of ClC-5 is hotly debated and its biophysical properties are still not fully understood.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Classic Bartter syndrome is a salt-wasting tubulopathy caused by mutations in the CLCNKB (chloride channel Kb) gene. Although growth hormone deficiency has been suggested as a cause for persistent growth failure in patients with classic Bartter syndrome, in our opinion the diagnoses of growth hormone deficiency has been unconvincing in some reports. Moreover, Gitelman syndrome seems to have been confused with Bartter syndrome in some cases in the literature. In the present work, we describe a new case with CLCNKB gene mutations and review the reported cases of classic Bartter syndrome associated with growth hormone deficiency. CASE PRESENTATION Our patient was a Japanese boy diagnosed as having classic Bartter syndrome at eight months of age. The diagnosis of Bartter syndrome was confirmed by CLCNKB gene analysis, which revealed compound heterozygous mutations with deletion of exons 1 to 3 (derived from his mother) and ΔL130 (derived from his father). His medical therapy consisted of potassium (K), sodium chloride, spironolactone, and anti-inflammatory agents; this regime was started at eight months of age. Our patient was very short (131.1cm, -4.9 standard deviation) at 14.3 years and showed profoundly impaired growth hormone responses to pharmacological stimulants: 0.15μg/L to insulin-induced hypoglycemia and 0.39μg/L to arginine. His growth response to growth hormone therapy was excellent. CONCLUSIONS The present case strengthens the association between classic Bartter syndrome and growth hormone deficiency. We propose that growth hormone status should be considered while treating children with classic Bartter syndrome.

An atypical Dent's disease phenotype caused by co-inheritance of mutations at CLCN5 and OCRL genes. Eur J Hum Genet 2012; 21:687-90.

Abstract
Dent's disease is an X-linked renal tubulopathy caused by mutations mainly affecting the CLCN5 gene. Defects in the OCRL gene, which is usually mutated in patients with Lowe syndrome, have been shown to lead to a Dent-like phenotype called Dent disease 2. However, about 20% of patients with Dent's disease carry no CLCN5/OCRL mutations. The disease's genetic heterogeneity is accompanied by interfamilial and intrafamilial phenotypic heterogeneity. We report on a case of Dent's disease with a very unusual phenotype (dysmorphic features, ocular abnormalities, growth delay, rickets, mild mental retardation) in which a digenic inheritance was discovered. Two different, novel disease-causing mutations were detected, both inherited from the patient's healthy mother, that is a truncating mutation in the CLCN5 gene (A249fs*20) and a donor splice-site alteration in the OCRL gene (c.388+3A>G). The mRNA analysis of the patient's leukocytes revealed an aberrantly spliced OCRL mRNA caused by in-frame exon 6 skipping, leading to a shorter protein, but keeping intact the central inositol 5-phosphatase domain and the C-terminal side of the ASH-RhoGAP domain. Only wild-type mRNA was observed in the mother's leukocytes due to a completely skewed X inactivation. Our results are the first to reveal the effect of an epistatic second modifier in Dent's disease too, which can modulate its expressivity. We surmise that the severe Dent disease 2 phenotype of our patient might be due to an addictive interaction of the mutations at two different genes.

A patient with Dent disease and features of Bartter syndrome caused by a novel mutation of CLCN5. Eur J Pediatr 2012; 171:401-4.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Dent disease is an X-linked tubulopathy mainly caused by inactivating mutations of CLCN5. Features of Bartter syndrome such as hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis are rarely observed in patients with Dent disease. We report a Japanese male patient with Dent disease who also manifested features of Bartter syndrome. At the age of 3 years, he was diagnosed with Dent disease based on low molecular weight proteinuria and hypercalciuria. One year later, he was found to have features of Bartter syndrome, i.e., hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis, and high levels of plasma renin activity and aldosterone with a normal blood pressure. Despite medical interventions, he developed chronic kidney disease stage 3 at the age of 21 years. To investigate the molecular basis of his disease, CLCN5, KCNJ1, SLC12A1, and CLCkb were analyzed and a novel mutation (Y567X) in CLCN5 was identified. CONCLUSION Hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis is a rare manifestation in Dent disease. It is speculated that Dent patients with features of Bartter syndrome are susceptible to progression to renal failure. To study this hypothesis, additional observations and long-term follow-up of such patients are necessary.

Abstract
Bartter syndrome is a hereditary disorder that has been characterized by the association of hypokalemia, alkalosis, and the hypertrophy of the juxtaglomerular complex with secondary hyperaldosteronism and normal blood pressure. By contrast, the genetic causes of Bartter syndrome primarily affect molecular structures directly involved in the sodium reabsorption at the level of the Henle loop. The ensuing urinary sodium wasting and chronic sodium depletion are responsible for the contraction of the extracellular volume, the activation of the renin-aldosterone axis, the secretion of prostaglandins, and the biological adaptations of downstream tubular segments, meaning the distal convoluted tubule and the collecting duct. These secondary biological adaptations lead to hypokalemia and alkalosis, illustrating a close integration of the solutes regulation in the tubular structures.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dent's disease is an X-linked recessive proximal tubulopathy characterized by low molecular weight proteinuria, hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis, nephrolithiasis and progressive renal failure. To the best of our knowledge, this is only the third report on the use of growth hormone therapy in a child with poor growth associated with Dent's disease. CASE PRESENTATION We report on a 7-year-old Montenegrin boy with proteinuria, hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis, rickets and short stature with unimpaired growth hormone secretion. A molecular genetic analysis showed S244L substitution on the CLCN5 gene. After two years of conventional treatment with hydrochlorothiazide, laboratory tests revealed more prominent proteinuria, mild hypophosphatemia, increased values of alkaline phosphatase and features of rickets. Phosphate salts, calcitriol, potassium citrate and growth hormone were included in the therapy. After three years of therapy, his adjusted parental stature was 1.53 standard deviations higher than at the initiation of growth hormone therapy. His global kidney functions and levels of proteinuria and calciuria remained relatively stable. In spite of the growth hormone therapy, his tubular reabsorption of phosphate deteriorated. CONCLUSION Treatment with recombinant human growth hormone may have a positive effect on final height in poorly growing children with Dent's disease and hypophosphatemic rickets. However, it is not possible to reach definite conclusions due to the small sample within the literature and the brief duration of the therapy.
