RAS gene mutations linked to autosomal recessive renal tubular dysgenesis
Abstract
Gribouval O et al. (2005) Mutations in genes in the renin-angiotensin system are associated with autosomal recessive renal tubular dysgenesis. Nat Genet 37: 964–968 According to a recent study, genetic defects in the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) are linked to, and could be the fundamental cause of, autosomal recessive renal tubular dysgenesis (RTD), a severe fetal disorder of kidney development associated with anuria, hypotension and perinatal death.
