Bartter syndrome (BS) is a family of disorders manifested by hypokalemic hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis with normotensive hyperreninemic hyperaldosteronism. We evaluated a unique, inbred Bedouin kindred in which sensorineural deafness (SND) cosegregates with an infantile variant of the BS phenotype. Using a DNA-pooling strategy, we screened the human genome and successfully demonstrated linkage of this unique syndrome to chromosome 1p31. The genes for two kidney-specific chloride channels and a sodium/hydrogen antiporter, located near this region, were excluded as candidate genes. Although the search for the disease-causing gene in this family continues, this linkage further demonstrates the genetic heterogeneity of BS. In addition, the cosegregation of these phenotypes allows us to postulate that a single genetic alteration may be responsible for the SND and the BS phenotype. The identification and characterization of this gene would lead to a better understanding of the normal physiology of the kidney and the inner ear.
