This review highlights, among other subjects, three distinct subtypes of Bartter's syndrome and points to the interesting potential of heterozygote carriers of mutations in the genes encoding the N(K)CC family, or ROMK, or C1 channels, to have a reduced susceptibility for high blood pressure.

A mechanism of ENaC inactivation, which is active in pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1, involves a conserved glycine in the N-terminus in the ENaC subunits that determines the gating mode. This mode is thought to be a key regulator of channel activity.

ROMK protein was found in TAL, macula densa, DCT, CNT and CCD principal cells. NaCl transport in these locations is likely to be related to ROMK function. These functions are supported by data from patients affected by Bartter's syndrome.
