Mutations in genes encoding chloride transporters cause Bartter's syndrome. An antenatal form associated with salt wasting and deafness has been observed in persons with mutations inBSND,the gene encoding barttin, a protein controlling the membrane insertion of two distinct chloride transporters. This report describes a child with the syndrome yet a normalBSNDgene. The child had mutations in each of two genes encoding the chloride transporters ClC-Ka and ClC-Kb. The data provide strong evidence that barttin regulates ClC-type chloride channels and thus provide new insight into renal salt handling.
