Familial Hypercalcemia and Hypercalciuria Caused by a Novel Mutation in the Cytoplasmic Tail of the Calcium Receptor*
1 May 2000
Abstract excerpt
Familial hyperparathyroidism (HPT), characterized by hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria, and familial benign hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) are the most common causes of hereditary hypercalcemia. The calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) regulates PTH secretion and renal calcium excretion. Heterozygous inactivating mutations of the gene cause FHH, whereas CaR gene mutations have not been demonstrated in HPT. In a...
