Rare germline variants of CYP11B2 (encoding aldosterone synthase), CLCN2 (encoding voltage-gated chloride channel ClC-2), KCNJ5, CACNA1H (encoding a subunit of T-type voltage-gated calcium channel CaV3.2), and CACNA1D have been reported in different subtypes of familial hyperaldosteronism. This evidence concerns the gene KCNJ5 and familial hyperaldosteronism.
