ABSTRACT
We report a family of glucocorticoid-remediable aldosteronism (GRA). A 20-year-old man presented with early-onset hypertension accompanied by hypokalemia was admitted to our hospital. Clinical data and family history were collected. Following genetic analyses with PCR and Sanger sequencing to document the chimeric gene and crossover site, respectively, we identified CYP11B1/CYP11B2 and determined the breakpoint of unequal crossover to be located in 264-380 nucletide, which was considered as GRA. There were 4 cases of GRA in the family, the average age of onset was 28 years, and all had different degrees of hypertension. Among them, the proband′s uncle suffered from moyamoya disease and died 6 months later due to sudden cerebral hemorrhage. In order to improve the understanding of this rare disease, the pathogenesis, biochemical profiles, diagnosis and treatment of GRA were summarized and analyzed.
