"Transient antenatal Bartter’s syndrome caused by MAGED2 mutation is a rare X-linked recessive renal tubular disorder. Cases reported are mostly infants, and the long-term prognosis of the disease is still under investigation. We encountered a preterm male infant with polyhydramnios, polyuria, salt loss, hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis and alkalosis. Antenatal Bartter’s syndrome was suspected, but these clinical symptoms surprisingly disappeared after about 2 months. This led to the clinical diagnosis of transient antenatal Bartter’s syndrome. Gene analysis in this patient disclosed a novel variant (c.1598C > T, p.Ala533Val) in exon 12 of MAGED2 gene, and his mother was a heterozygous carrier. This patient was followed up in clinic for 4 years without recurrence of imbalance of potassium, sodium and chloride. His height and weight were in normal range, and all laboratory examinations and nephrotic ultrasound were also normal. We reported the first Chinese case of transient antenatal Bartter’s syndrome caused by MAGED2 mutation. The 4-year follow-up of our case further demonstrates the benign prognosis of the disease and indicates that early recognition of this phenotype could avoid unnecessary treatments."
