Bartter syndrome is caused by mutations of genes encoding proteins that transport ions across renal cells in the [[Thick ascending limb of loop of Henle|thick ascending limb]] of the nephron.<ref name="Rodriguez"> </ref> Bartter and Gitelman syndromes can be divided into different subtypes based on the genes involved: neonatal Bartter's syndrome is caused by mutations of [[Na-K-2Cl symporter|NKCC2]] or [[ROMK]], classic Bartter's syndrome by mutations of ClC-Kb, Bartter's syndrome associated with sensorineural deafness is due to mutations of BSND, Gitelman's syndrome to mutations of NCCT and Bartter's syndrome associated with autosomal dominant hypocalcemia is linked to mutations of CASR.<ref>{{cite journal | author=Naesens M, Steels P, Verberckmoes R, Vanrenterghem Y, Kuypers D | title=Bartter's and Gitelman's syndromes: from gene to clinic | journal=Nephron Physiol | year=2004 | pages=p65-78 | volume=96 | issue=3  | id=PMID 15056980}}</ref>
