Description : Haines et al. (2001) described a family with pseudohyperkalemia living in Chiswick
in the UK but of Austrian origin. Isotopic tracer studies showed this family to be
clearly different from the Edinburgh pedigree in that the temperature dependence of
the ouabain-plus-bumetanide-resistant potassium flux (reflecting the passive leak)
showed a novel 'shoulder' abnormality with a minimum at 25 degrees C rising to a maximum
at 10 degrees C, followed by a further fall. They also examined a Falkirk (Scotland)
family previously studied by Meenaghan et al. (1985) and reported findings similar
to those in the Austrian family. Carella et al. (2004) reported a large kindred of
Flemish descent with familial pseudohyperkalemia, designated FP Lille. Although the
pseudohyperkalemia was indistinguishable from FP Edinburgh (see 194380), microsatellite
analysis excluded the locus for that disorder at 16q23-qter. A genome scan mapped
the FP Lille locus to chromosome 2q35-q36 with a lod score of 8.46 for marker D2S1338.
No mutation was found in several plausible candidate genes in this region, including;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the ATP-binding cassette, subfamily B, member 6 gene (ABCB6,
605452.0013);
Laboratory abnormalities : Normal serum potassium in blood tested immediately after drawing; Elevated serum potassium in blood stored at less than 37 degrees centigrade;
