Abstract

We present cases of 3 children diagnosed with the same genetic condition, Gitelman syndrome, at different stages using various genetic methods: panel testing, targeted single gene sequencing, and exome sequencing. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each method and review the potential of genomic sequencing for early disease detection.
