Data suggest underlying pathology for some patients with type II Bartter syndrome is linked to stability of ROMK1 in ERAD pathway; using a yeast expression system, cells can be rescued by wild-type (rat) ROMK1 but not by ROMK1 containing any one of four mutations found in (human) type II Bartter syndrome; mutant ROMKs are significantly less stable than wild-type ROMK.
