OCRL1 mutations in Dent 2 patients suggest a mechanism for phenotypic variability.

CONCLUSIONS: OCRL1 mutations can cause the renal phenotype of Dent disease, without acidosis or the dramatic eye abnormalities typical of Lowe syndrome. We propose a model to explain the phenotypic variability between Dent 2 and Lowe's based on distinctly different classes of mutations in OCRL1 producing splice variants. PMID: 19390221 [...
