Gitelman syndrome (GS) is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary renal tubular disorder characterized by hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, hypomagnesemia, and hypocalciuria.
We report a rare case of GS with homozygous loss of SLC12A3 presenting with epilepsy. The patient was a 21-year-old female who sought medical attention for seizures. Her condition primarily manifested as epilepsy, diarrhea, and weakness of limbs. Through genetic analysis, we confirmed the diagnosis of this case and formulated a comprehensive approach for its management.
This case report extends the clinical symptoms of GS and provides a complete family of GS as a reference for subsequent studies.
吉特林综合征（GS）是一种罕见的常染色体隐性遗传性肾小管疾病，其特征为低钾血症、代谢性碱中毒、低镁血症和低钙尿症。
我们报告了一例罕见的GS病例，该病例存在SLC12A3纯合缺失并伴有癫痫发作。患者为一名21岁女性，因癫痫发作就医。她的病情主要表现为癫痫、腹泻和肢体无力。通过基因分析，我们确诊了该病例并制定了综合治疗方案。
本病例报告扩展了GS的临床症状，并提供了一个完整的GS家系，为后续研究提供参考。
