The gene that causes Liddle syndrome is dominant, meaning that children of a person with the disorder have a 50% chance of inheriting the defective gene.
Liddle syndrome does not always cause symptoms. When it does, symptoms such as high blood pressure often begin during childhood or young adulthood. People also have low levels of potassium and high levels of bicarbonate in the blood.
