A rare Mendelian syndrome—pseudohypoaldosteronism type II (PHA-II)—features hypertension, hyperkalemia, and metabolic acidosis. Genetic linkage studies and exome sequencing have identified four genes—with no lysine kinase 1 (wnk1), wnk4, Kelch-like 3 (KLHL3), and Cullin 3 (Cul3)—mutations of which all caused PHA-II phenotypes. The previous hypothesis was that the KLHL3–Cul3 ubiquitin complex...
