Abstract:
Gordon syndrome (GS) is a rare form of monogenic hypertension characterized by low renin hypertension, hyperkalemia, hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, and normal glomerular filtration rate. To date, four genes causing GS have been identified as: Case presentation: We report three cases of GS in two families. All patients presented with typical clinical features of GS and had a known dominant Conclusions: GS should be considered in patients with low renin hypertension and hyperkalemia. Although it is a rare disease, the correct diagnosis of GS is clinically important, as it can easily be treated with a low sodium diet or thiazides. In addition, family studies can identify individuals with undiagnosed GS as all mutations causing this disease, except for some recessive
