Familial hyperaldosteronism type III (FH-III) is a rare and clinically heterogeneous condition, that can display mild as well as severe phenotypes. Point mutations in the KCNJ5 gene, affecting the ion selectivity of the inward rectifier K(+) channel 4 (Kir3.4), underlie the molecular basis of FH-III.
