abstract = {Introduction: Pseudohypoaldosteronism type II (PHA II) is a
Mendelian disorder, featuring hyperkalemic acidosis and low
plasma renin levels, typically associated with hypertension.
Mutations in WNK1, WNK4, CUL3, and KLHL3 cause PHA II, with
dominant mutations in WNK1, WNK4, and CUL3 and either
dominant or recessive mutations in KLHL3. Fourteen families
with recessive KLHL3 mutations have been reported, with
diagnosis at the age of 3 months to 56 years, typically in
individuals with normal kidney function. Methods: We
performed clinical and genetic investigations in a patient
with hyperkalemic hypertension and used molecular dynamics
simulations, heterologous expression in COS7 cells, and
Western blotting to investigate the effect of a KLHL3
candidate disease mutation on WNK4 protein expression.
Results: The patient, a 58-year-old woman from a
consanguineous family, showed hypertension, persistent
hyperkalemic acidosis associated with severe muscle pain,
nephrolithiasis, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and coronary
heart disease. Therapy with hydrochlorothiazide corrected
hyperkalemia, hypertension, and muscle pain. Genetic
analysis revealed a homozygous p.Arg431Trp mutation at a
highly conserved KLHL3 position. Simulations suggested
reduced stability of the mutant protein, which was confirmed
by Western blot. Compared with wild-type KLHL3,
cotransfection of p.Arg431Trp KLHL3 led to increased WNK4
protein levels, inferred to cause increased NaCl
reabsorption via the thiazide-sensitive carrier and PHA II.
Conclusions: Even in patients presenting late in life and in
the presence of CKD, PHA II should be suspected if renin
levels are low and hyperkalemic acidosis and hypertension
are inadequate for CKD stage, particularly in the presence
of a suspicious family history},
