Risk calculators and risk factors for Bartter syndrome epidemiology and demographics |
- The prevalence of Barter Syndrome is approximately 1 in 1,000,000 individuals.[1]
- Barter syndrome is a result of mutations that disable the function of NA-K-Cl channels. This condition leads to prenatal or neonatal death before it can be diagnosed and therefore has a lower prevalence.[1]
