Abstract

Objective: Familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis is a rare disease characterized by the kidney loss of magnesium and calcium and by bilateral medullary nephrocalcinosis. It is caused by mutations in the CLDN16 and CLDN19 genes. In this study, we aimed to present the clinical and laboratory findings of 5 patients with 2 different pathogenic variations.
