Distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) is characterized by defective urinary acidification by the distal nephron. Cl-/HCO3- exchange mediated by the AE1 anion exchanger in the basolateral membrane of type A intercalated cells is thought to be an essential component of lumenal H+ secretion by collecting duct intercalated cells. We evaluated the AE1 gene as a possible candidate gene for familial dRTA. We found in three unrelated families with autosomal dominant dRTA that all clinically affected individuals were heterozygous for a single missense mutation encoding the mutant AE1 polypeptide R589H. Patient red cells showed approximately 20% reduction in sulfate influx of normal 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid sensitivity and pH dependence. Recombinant kidney AE1 R589H expressed in Xenopus oocytes showed 20-50% reduction in Cl-/Cl- and Cl-/HCO3- exchange, but did not display a dominant negative phenotype for anion transport when coexpressed with wild-type AE1. One apparently unaffected individual for whom acid-loading data were unavailable also was heterozygous for the mutation. Thus, in contrast to previously described heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in AE1 associated with red cell abnormalities and apparently normal renal acidification, the heterozygous hypomorphic AE1 mutation R589H is associated with dominant dRTA and normal red cells.
