Coexistence of Gitelman's syndrome and thyroid disease: SLC12A3 gene analysis in two patients / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

Two patients with coexistence of thyroid disease and suspected Gitelman's syndrome underwent SLC12A3 gene analysis. The results confirmed that both patients were compound heterozygotes of SLC12A3 gene mutation. Three novel variants of SLC12A3 were found in this study. This report suggests that Gitelman's syndrome may coexist with other disorders associated with hypokalemia, such as Graves' disease.
