A novel frameshift mutation in NR3C2 leads to decreased expression of mineralocorticoid receptor: a family with renal pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1.

abstract：:Pathogenesis of pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1b (PHP-1b) is related to the loss of methylation at the GNAS exon A/B region, which is combined with epigenetic defects at other differentially methylated GNAS regions in most sporadic cases. In this study, we established a method for evaluating the methylation status of...
