Abstract
Gitelman syndrome(GS) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease caused by mutations in the SLC12A3 gene located in chromosome 16q13. The incidence of GS is 1-10∶40 000. SLC12A3 encodes thiazide-sensitive sodium-chloride cotransporters(NCC) which play key roles in Na+ and Cl- reabsorption. GS is characterized by hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis in combination with significant hypomagnesaemia and low urinary calcium excretion. There are some correlations between genotypes and phenotypes. In previous studies, more than 500 mutations have been identified and some of them have been functionally analyzed. We review genetic mutations and functional studies related to GS as well as the relationship between genotypes and phenotypes, and summarize the research process in molecular genetics of GS.
Key words:
Gitelman syndrome; Na+ /Cl- cotransporter; SLC12A3 gene mutation

期刊介绍：
The Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism was founded in July 1985. It is a senior academic journal in the field of endocrinology and metabolism sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association. The journal aims to be the "Chinese broadcaster of new knowledge on endocrinology and metabolism worldwide". It reports leading scientific research results and clinical diagnosis and treatment experience in endocrinology and metabolism and related fields, as well as basic theoretical research that has a guiding role in endocrinology and metabolism clinics and is closely integrated with clinics. The journal is a core journal of Chinese science and technology (a statistical source journal of Chinese science and technology papers), and is included in Chinese and foreign statistical source journal databases such as the Chinese Science and Technology Papers and Citation Database, Chemical Abstracts, and Scopus.
