A novel homozygous W99G mutation in CLDN-16 gene causing familial hypomagnesemic hypercalciuric nephrocalcinosis in Turkish siblings

Familial hypomagnesemic hypercalciuric nephrocalcinosis (FHHNC) (OMIM: 248250) is characterized by hypomagnesemia, hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis. FHHNC inevitably progresses to end-stage renal disease in decades. Mutations in CLDN-16 and CLDN-19 genes are associated with disrupted magnesium h...
