Hypokalemic paralysis is rarely seen as the presenting feature in patients with Gitelman syndrome. We report a Chinese man who presented with periodic paralysis, in whom molecular analysis revealed compound heterozygous inheritance of three mutations of the thiazide-sensitive sodium chloride cotransporter. Family history revealed intrafamilial variation in phenotypes. Gitelman syndrome should be considered as a cause of hypokalemic paralysis, and molecular analysis may help establish the diagnosis.
