bartter's & gitelman's syndromes →
Bartter’s type 3 is a mutation of the CLCNKB gene, affecting the Cl- channel.
Gitelman’s is a mutation of the SLC12A3 gene, affecting the sodium-chloride symporter.
at age 6, i was diagnosed with bartter’s but gitelman’s has very similar symptoms and is found to be more common, so i have to get genetic testing. —geekin’ out
