Localization of a renal sodium-phosphate cotransporter gene to human chromosome 5q35.

Several Mendelian disorders of renal phosphate reabsorption, associated with hypophosphatemia and bone disease, have been described. These include X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria, hypophosphatemic bone disease, and autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive hypophosphatemic rickets. The underlying mechanisms for renal phosphate wasting in these disorders remain unknown. The proximal tubule is the major site of renal phosphate reabsorption. Thus, mutations in genes that participate in the transepithelial transport of phosphate in this segment of the nephron may be responsible for these disorders. Recently, a cDNA encoding a renal proximal tubular, brush-border membrane Na[sup +]-phosphate cotransporter (NaP[sub i]-3) was cloned from human kidney cortex. As a first step in establishing whether mutations in the NaP[sub i]-3 gene are the cause of inherited disorders in phosphate homeostasis, the authors sought to determine its chromosomal localization. 9 refs., 1 fig.
