Gitelman syndrome (GS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by alkalosis, hypokalemia, and hypomagnesemia. Although hundreds of genetic variants associated with GS have been reported, many of them are categorized as of uncertain significance in ClinVar. Here, we describe a pediatric GS patient from a three-generation family whose mother and maternal grandmother were asymptomatic. The proband was a 16-year-old Japanese girl with muscle weakness and continuous hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis. The patient, her mother, and her maternal grandmother were compound heterozygous for, and each expressing a different combination of, previously reported SLC12A3 variants in GS patients. The mother and the
