Great table ! Just an observation: Autosomal Dominant Pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 actually involves a loss of function mutation of the mineralocorticoid receptor, not of ENaC
Thx Dr Rondon. There are actually two types of Pseudohypoaldo type1: AD which has a defect on aldosterone receptor and AR that has defect on ENaC.
