Gitelman Syndrome Presenting With Syncope and Treatment-Refractory Hypokalemia in A Young Woman: A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Gitelman syndrome (GS) is a rare autosomal recessive tubulopathy characterized by hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis, hypomagnesemia, and hypocalciuria. A 27‐year‐old woman presented with a witnessed syncopal episode, progressive weakness, and nausea.

Novel Pathogenic Genotype in SLC12A3 Associated to Gitelman Syndrome: A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Gitelman syndrome (GS) is considered one of the most common hereditary renal tubular disorders, characterised by hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypocalciuria, and metabolic alkalosis. The primary cause of this disorder resides in the SLC12A3 gene, which encodes the NaCl cotransporter in the distal convoluted tubule, and for which more than 500 ...

The miRNA Expression of Urinary Extracellular Vesicles in Patients With Gitelman Syndrome: The Role of hsa-let-7d-3p. [PDF]
This study identifies differentially expressed miRNAs in urinary extracellular vesicles and kidney biopsies from Gitelman syndrome patients. In particular, hsa‐let‐7d‐3p is the only upregulated miRNA that negatively regulates NEDD4L, a key modulator of sodium transport.

Gitelman and Bartter Syndrome in a Patient With Morbid Obesity: A Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]
ABSTRACT We present a case study of a 34‐year‐old man with morbid obesity and a suspected Bartter–Gitelman spectrum tubulopathy (without genetic confirmation), weighing 135 kg, and with a BMI of 42.5 kg/m2, who was referred to the metabolic and bariatric surgery department due to morbid obesity to address abnormal electrolyte levels.

Functional evaluation of novel compound heterozygous variants in SLC12A3 of Gitelman syndrome [PDF]
Background Gitelman syndrome (GS) is an inherited renal tubular disorder characterized by hypokalemic alkalosis and hypomagnesemia, due to biallelic pathogenic variants in the solute carrier family 12 member 3 (SLC12A3) gene encoding a sodium-chloride ...

Unmasking of a Heterozygous SLC12A3 Variant [PDF]
Three months after starting 25 mg chlorthalidone, a patient was admitted to the medical intensive care unit to manage hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, hypo-osmolar hyponatremia, hyperglycemia, and 30 lb weight loss.

A novel homozygous mutation in the solute carrier family 12 member 3 gene in a Chinese family with Gitelman syndrome [PDF]
Loss of function of mutated solute carrier family 12 member 3 (SLC12A3) gene is the most frequent etiology for Gitelman syndrome (GS), which is mainly manifested by hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia and hypocalciuria.
