Although pendrin expression has been examined in many rodent treatment models such as NCC KO mice, an aldosterone infusion or the administration of NaHCO3 to regulate acid-base and salt regulation, our study suggested the increased pendrin expression from uEVs and biopsied kidney tissues be responsive to renal salt wasting and also chronic metabolic alkalosis in GS patients. This evidence concerns the gene SLC12A3 and Gerstmann syndrome.
