Abstract excerpt
Calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) plays an essential role in regulating secretion of parathyroid hormone. After the identification of CaSR, some cases of familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) were shown to have heterozygous inactivating mutations of CaSR. However, linkage study showed that there are additional two genetic loci for FHH in addition to the chromosomal location of CaSR gene. Furthermore, one...
