Abstract excerpt
We report three novel activating mutations in the calcium-sensing receptor (CASR) that are responsible for autosomal dominant hypocalcemia (ADH) in three unrelated families. Each mutation involves a missense substitution resulting in a nonconservative amino acid alteration, P221L, E228Q, and Q245R. These mutations were observed in affected family members, but not in unaffected family members or in unrelated...
