Aratenatal Bartter syndrome is a variant of inherited renal-tubular disorders associated with hypokalemic alkalosis. This disorder typically presents as a life-threatening condition beginning in utero, with marked fetal polyuria that leads to polyhydramnios and premature delivery. Another hallmark of this variant is a marked hypercalciuria and, as a secondary consequence, the development of nephrocalcinosis and osteopenia, We have analyzed 15 probands belonging to 13 families and leave performed SSCP analysis of the coding sequence and the exon-intron boundaries of the NKCC2 gene; and we report 14 novel mutations in patients with antenatal Bartter syndrome, as well as the identification of three isoforms of human NKCC2 that arise from alternative splicing.
