Molecular assay reagents intended to identify mutations in the solute carrier family 12 (sodium/chloride transporters), member 3 (SLC12A3) gene, located at chromosome 16q13, which encodes for a protein that acts as a cotransporter, mediating sodium-chloride reabsorbtion in the distal convoluted tubule of the kidney. This inherited genetic mutation has been identified in patients with familial hypokalemia-hypomagnesemia (Gitelman\'s syndrome).
