However, the function of renal Claudin-10 in humans remains undetermined. We identified and characterized\n CLDN10<\/jats:italic>\n mutations in two patients with a hypokalemic-alkalotic salt-losing nephropathy. The first patient was diagnosed with Bartter syndrome (BS) >30 years ago. At re-evaluation, we observed hypocalciuria and hypercalcemia, suggesting Gitelman syndrome (GS). However, serum magnesium was in the upper normal to hypermagnesemic range, thiazide responsiveness was not blunted, and genetic analyses did not show mutations in genes associated with GS or BS. Whole-exome sequencing revealed compound heterozygous\n CLDN10<\/jats:italic>\n sequence variants [c.446C>G (p.Pro149Arg) and c.465\u20131G>A (p.Glu157_Tyr192del)]. The patient had reduced urinary concentrating ability, with a preserved aquaporin-2 response to desmopressin and an intact response to furosemide. These findings were not in line with any other known salt-losing nephropathy. Subsequently, we identified a second unrelated patient showing a similar phenotype, in whom we detected compound heterozygous\n CLDN10<\/jats:italic>\n sequence variants [c.446C>G (p.(Pro149Arg) and c.217G>A (p.Asp73Asn)]. Cell surface biotinylation and immunofluorescence experiments in cells expressing the encoded mutants showed that only one mutation caused significant differences in Claudin-10 membrane localization and tight junction strand formation, indicating that these alterations do not fully explain the phenotype. These data suggest that pathogenic\n CLDN10<\/jats:italic>\n mutations affect TAL paracellular ion transport and cause a novel tight junction disease characterized by a non-BS, non-GS autosomal recessive hypokalemic-alkalotic salt-losing phenotype.\n
