Gordon syndrome is a rare monogenic hypertensive disease with low incidence and high clinical heterogeneity. As so far, genetic diagnosis of Gordon syndrome is rarely reported. We reported a case of Gordon syndrome caused by a novel with-no-lysine kinase 1 mutation [c.3029G>A (p.Gl1010Glu)]. The patient, a 21-year-old female, was found to have elevated blood pressure during physical examination. The treatment with thiazide diuretics showed significant effect, and the gene analysis made a diagnosis of Gordon syndrome. This case expanded the mutant spectrum of Gordon syndrome, provided evidence for its different clinical manifestations, and improved the understanding of monogenic hypertension.
