Abstract excerpt
Inactivating mutations in the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) cause familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia (FHH) and neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism (NSHPT). Earlier investigations showed patients with FHH are heterozygous, and NSHPT are homozygous for inactivating mutations. However, one adult patient with severe hypercalcaemia and hypocalciuria has been reported to have a homozygous inactivating mutation in...
