Most homozygotes for a null mutation die before weaning with impaired electrolyte, acid-base, and fluid-volume homeostasis, reduced NaCl absorption in the thick ascending limb, and abnormal tubuloglomerular feedback. A colony of mutants with extended suvival serves as a model for Bartter's syndrome.
