Introduction: Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare malignant tumor originating from the olfactory neuroepithelium, typically within the sinonasal cavity. Cases of ONB originating outside of the olfactory cleft area are extremely rare and are referred to as "ectopic" (eONB), in contrast to "orthotopic" tumors (oONB). ONB has been associated with paraneoplastic syndromes (PNSs), including the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH).

Mutations in the CLCNKB gene (1p36), encoding the basolateral chloride channel ClC-Kb, cause type 3 Bartter syndrome. We identified a family with a mixed Bartter/Gitelman phenotype and early-onset kidney failure and by employing a candidate gene approach, identified what we believe is a novel homozygous mutation (CLCNKB c.499G>T [p.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined renal hypokalemia's clinical features and genetic mutations in patients.
  • Five patients were diagnosed with tubular hypokalemia, but their common symptoms made diagnosis challenging.
  • Genetic analysis revealed several mutations linked to conditions like Bartter syndrome and renal tubular acidosis, highlighting the importance of molecular diagnosis for better treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • * A case study highlighted a 51-year-old woman who experienced symptoms like palpitations and fatigue due to hypokalemia, but treatment was ineffective until a proper diagnosis of GS was made through genetic testing after addressing her hyperthyroidism.
  • * The patient's condition improved after receiving potassium and magnesium supplements, as well as treatment for hyperthyroidism, illustrating the complexities of diagnosing and managing GS, which requires ongoing research for better therapeutic strategies.

Background: Type III Bartter syndrome (BS) is an autosomal recessive renal tubular disease caused by the mutation of the chloride voltage-gated channel Kb (CLCNKB) gene. This condition is characterized by renal sodium loss, hypokalemia, metabolic alkaliosis, high renin, and high aldosterone levels.

Methods: We report a case of adult type III BS caused by a novel complex heterozygous mutation of the CLCNKB gene.
